Originally, before taking these memory tests I was pretty certain that my memory was great. After all, I can remember the birthdays of anyone I have ever met ( quick memory flex haha). Who knew that my memory is actually even worse than average. Well, at least according to these memory tests.
The first one I took was a short-term memory test where I had to 30 seconds to look at a couple of words and then they would disappear so, I would then have to write as many as I remember in the blanks. I scored 4/12 (yup, clearly short-term memory isn't for me). I found the last couple words easy to remember while, the rest were just blank, resulting in leaving many of the blanks even empty.
For the second test, I had to find the dot that was changing color out of multiple other dots measuring speed and visual changes. On this I scored 6.12, while the average score was 10.12. This test I found a little difficult because the dots were trippy and were messing with my eyes.
For the 3rd test, it was about vocabulary where I had to choose the most closely related word to the main word. That test was the only test where I got close to the average. I got a 30.43 while the average was 36.495. Personally, more than memory I feel like this test was more if you knew the word or not.
Overall, I think these tests were more based on short-term memory, while long term memory may be my strong suit.
