How good is your memory?
I am usually told that my memory is definitely on the lower end of the spectrum, of which I do not object. Ever since I was a kid my ,long term memory especially, has been inferior to the other kids. this week I took a couple memory test to establish if my memory really is what people perceive it too be.
Test #1: This test consisted of memorizing a couple words and then you must recall them right after viewing them. I did well on this test which I wasn't too surprised because the test was rather easy although I did not get a one hundred. I do not feel like this test was very valid because it says glance at the words briefly, and some people could've done better than other simply because of the amount of time they spent looking at the words
Test #2: During this one I wasn't quite sure if the website was registering my response to the pictures, which I think may have altered my results, but I did relatively well with the score of eighty eight percent. This test seemed more structured and more thought out. My response time was well above the "good" time if that means anything.
Test #3: The penny test was probably the most detestable out of all of the test. I ended up taking and educated guess and happened to get it correct. In this test you had to chose among many pennies and determine which was the most realistic to the real world penny. This is a controversial test because it is dependent on the quality of the screen and your eyesight as well as other factors.
Overall the tests don't seem fairly accurate. My results were comparable to the ordinary person, if not maybe slightly better, which doesn't seem to match me.
