Re: The 12 Pillars of Wisdom - Cambridge Brain Science

Hmm. Worth a try.

EDIT: Done.

VISUOSPATIAL WORKING MEMORY STRATEGY - 8.0 - TOP 37.3%
VERBAL REASONING - 17.0 - TOP 31.6%
FOCUSED ATTENTION - 25.0 - TOP 23.8%
DEDUCTIVE REASONING - 2.0 - TOP 95.9% (Brother called me out of the house to check what was up with his car during this one, unfortunately.)
WORKING MEMORY - 7.0 - TOP 16.9%
MENTAL ROTATION - 152.0 - TOP 5.6%
VISUAL ATTENTION - 112.0 - TOP 60.8%
VERBAL WORKING MEMORY - 9 - TOP 14.0%
PLANNING - 44.0 - TOP 4.3%
PAIRED ASSOCIATES - 6.0 - TOP 30.2%
VISUOSPATIAL PROCESSING - 28.0 - TOP 76.7%
SPATIAL WORKING MEMORY - 10.0 - TOP 14.4%

EDIT 2: Good job breaking the test, Rubix.

Did the "memorize square positions and numbers" thing and beat all levels (25 inclusive) without any errors -- then the entire thing just kinda froze on me without progressing from the black screen.

Used two different memory systems that I am well-acquainted with -- started out with visual shape paths rotely and switched to PAO method once things started filling in a bit.

That's weird. Maybe skip the first section and try again? It should work (Maybe you broke it by getting to level 25

)

I'm familiar with most memory mnemonics, but what is PAO? I find the first task quite hard; I was only able to get up to 10/11 (Though, no heuristics were used).

My first try scores were:

VISUOSPATIAL WORKING MEMORY STRATEGY - TOP 5.6%
VERBAL REASONING - TOP 1.6%
FOCUSED ATTENTION - TOP 0.1%
DEDUCTIVE REASONING - TOP 12.7%
WORKING MEMORY - TOP 16.9%
MENTAL ROTATION - TOP 4.5%
VISUAL ATTENTION - TOP 17.8%
VERBAL WORKING MEMORY - TOP 5.7%
PLANNING - TOP 0.1%
PAIRED ASSOCIATES - TOP 15.1%
VISUOSPATIAL PROCESSING - TOP 3.1%
SPATIAL WORKING MEMORY- TOP 14.4%

Could easily improve deductive reasoning (Misclicked), visual attention and spatial working memory. Probably visualspatial processing too.

Found the spatial memory type questions the hardest.

Re: The 12 Pillars of Wisdom - Cambridge Brain Science

I started taking this

Then my friends walked in and ****ed my test up so I'll take it later

Re: The 12 Pillars of Wisdom - Cambridge Brain Science

I completed the test and got pretty horrible results. I'm at work, so I can't give it my full attention, but I did manage to get the top .1% in the Visual Attention and Verbal Working Memory.

Visual Attention I just crossed my eye's like looking at a stereogram, let's you see inconsistencies like pie. Verbal Working test I used blocking and got to 16 digits.

Worst test was Focused Attention at top 62%

VISUOSPATIAL WORKING MEMORY STRATEGY -9.0 TOP % 16.7
VERBAL REASONING -9.0 TOP %78.7 (i could seriously improve this lmao)
FOCUSED ATTENTION -33.0 TOP %30.2 (could also improve this)
DEDUCTIVE REASONING -9.0 TOP % 58.3
WORKING MEMORY -6 TOP %41.2 (i have a game like this on my phone and i do better when the sequence is given to me faster)
MENTAL ROTATION -144 TOP %8.0
VISUAL ATTENTION -196 TOP %2.5
VERBAL WORKING MEMORY -7 TOP %47.9

PAIRED ASSOCIATES -6 TOP %30.2
VISUOSPATIAL PROCESSING -43 TOP %56.1
SPATIAL WORKING MEMORY-10 TOP %14.4

this was fun. also thought it was funny how a lot of these tests are games for my phone

Wow I'm dumb, I was only good at the rotation and visual attention.

VISUOSPATIAL WORKING MEMORY STRATEGY - top 16.7
VERBAL REASONING - TOP 26.2
FOCUSED ATTENTION - TOP 16.7
DEDUCTIVE REASONING - TOP 74.4
WORKING MEMORY - TOP 4.8

VERBAL WORKING MEMORY - TOP 68
PLANNING - TOP 22
PAIRED ASSOCIATES - TOP 50
VISUOSPATIAL PROCESSING - TOP 77.8
SPATIAL WORKING MEMORY- TOP 14.4

Out of the 4 memory ones, i did good on 3 of them, but I could have done a lot better on verbal if i did that "chunking" strategy. I've used it before but only for memorizing phone numbers but it wasn't intuitive to me at least.

But is memory really any good? what is the use of memory? what good is it?

Re: The 12 Pillars of Wisdom - Cambridge Brain Science

I need to try a bit harder next time (had law and order on in the background) haha but here we go

edit: final results after retake

VERBAL REASONING - TOP 4.3%
FOCUSED ATTENTION - TOP 4.4%
DEDUCTIVE REASONING - TOP 31.8%
WORKING MEMORY - TOP 16.9%
MENTAL ROTATION - TOP 0.1% (this is really ironic because I am TERRIBLE at reading maps and doing most directional functions haha)
VISUAL ATTENTION - TOP 12.2%
VERBAL WORKING MEMORY - TOP 14% (terrible at remembering phone numbers so i'm not surprised)
PLANNING - TOP 56.4%
PAIRED ASSOCIATES - TOP 0.2%
VISUOSPATIAL PROCESSING - TOP 2.4%
SPATIAL WORKING MEMORY- TOP 0.2%

fun stuff
