How good is my memory?

Short Term Memory Test

10/12 - This test was fun because I remember this technique I saw on brain games where you create a scene in your head using all the words you have to memorize. I tested it out for the first time and its surprisingly worked very well. Without it, I probably would've gotten half of the words correct. (Wish I could create a scene with calculus formulas in my head...) 

Everyday Object Memory Test

I chose the incorrect penny. This was interesting because a coin is something we've all seen since we were children. I'm glad I at least chose the penny that had the head facing the correct direction. I think this is a decent benchmark for verifying memory. However there are definitely a lot of factors that could affect results.


Famous Faces

In this test, I was tasked with differentiating celebrities from their doppelgänger solely based on facial features. It was really fun to take. I was surprised by the amount I got incorrect. There were definitely certain faces that I recognized instantly. However, I don't think this study produces super reliable results since some people might not know a lot of the celebrities.
