My Bio teacher made us do this to test our short term memory. Take the test and post up how you did.

Instructions:

1) Press start

2) Look at the pictures and try to commit them to memory.

DO NOT CHEAT AND WRITE DOWN THE NAMES OF THE PICTURES. THIS DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE TEST. :nono:

3) After the picture disappears (30 seconds) you have two minutes to write down as many of the items as you can remember.

4) Go back to the pic and see which ones you missed.

1st time I took it, I scored 17. The last two times, 18.

12. You are damned lucky I remembered those.

What were we talking about?
Cake taste good.
WHAT?
Who are you?
Who sent you?
Did I leave the iron on?
Wait, do I even own an iron?
Is that cake?

No, seriously, is that cake?

Change the picture to a negative and just stare at it for the whole 30 seconds.

When that's over, just look at a blank wall and blink quickly. Boom, photographic memory! :chuckle:

I made the kids do it. The girls did exceptionally well. Both made a 12 on their first try. I had them do it again a while later, Priss scored 18 and Saraya a 19.

They did better than me. :chuckle:

I am going to do it again later on today. Yesterday my mind was on business. I should do better after I shut the store down today.

Women are better then men at this sort of thing. That said I will give it a try later to see how I do.
