Hello everyone,

Not too long ago, I ran into this site, which offers a fairly decent test of working memory (at least, so I believe).

https://www.memorylosstest.com/free-wor ... ts-online/

Soon after finishing the test, an idea came into my head. That idea was "why not use this test to do a mini-survey on Wrong Planet?"

Rules
To ensure that everyone's on the same page, make sure to do the tests in "forward" order, and run the tests at "slow" speed.

To pass a given span, you need to get three tests in a row correct. Your score is the longest span you were able to consistently do correctly.

Results
On the number recall [Verbal working memory], I got 7.
On the visual-spatial, I got 3.

Those tests are exactly the types of tests I did last week at my ADHD psychometry assessment.

I did them for quite a while using this link but it never gave me a score. How do I see my score?

I just take the longest sequence that I can complete correctly 3 times in a row

You can't remember one number/location of an item?

I could do seven digit numbers occasionally but didn't have enough short term memory to keep track of how many in a row. I'm sure I never got three in a row.

I could get about five of the pictures but likewise couldn't keep track of how many in a row.

There was too much to attend to.

I know I could decrease to six numbers and try that, but it was too exhausting after two hours of it in my ADHD tests.
