How good is your memory?

That was kinda fun.

Bloody good idea, but its validity is questionable as far as it being a research tool goes.

86%, but I made three typos, so I missed three.

Protip: Associate the words. Like boat-dress, I thought of my boat shoes and how they're somewhat dressy.

It's a filter for further studies, which is actually pretty ingenious.

50%. I already knew my memory was bad, but damn.

Funny if you do it a second time; the words are the same.

Very smart indeed. I did something similar as an undergrad for an independent project. An anonymous response site for females on campus to tell us about their alcohol consumption, how many kids they've had, whether they're on birth control, etc. For a study about the interaction of ETOH and estrogen

Well you may have a bad memory, but at least you don't have a bad memory. Charlie, I smell the gas, are you making lasagna? You know how I feel about those orange curtains, they have secrets about me.

I made a few mistakes being that it is 1:42 AM. What's interesting is that I have scored below-average on working memory for IQ tests. I was able to score quite well on here by associating the words with images.

For example, I imagined "apple eat" as myself standing in my kitchen while holding a red apple. The apple was ice cold to the touch, then I bit into it for a incredible crunch.

For "mouth time", I imagined a miniature circular clock being held in my mouth.

It's helpful if you know multiple languages because some word pairs sound like single words from another language.

[Anonymous No.5777957]

Second year maths student here. I know my memory is horrible but holy hell. My instant-recall memory is worse than people who have only completed up to grade 6, and is on-par with the fucking decrepit?

Anyone have any memory tips? I've already looked into the method of loci and mnemonic devices multiple times and failed, so I always end up going back to stupidly lengthy rote memorization sessions for those courses with an expansive list of terms/definitions, and for equations lists.

Do I need to take a multivitamin or something? What do I do? I don't want to have fucking Alzheimer's.

I completely froze on the 1st round of words and missed around 5, but got all the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Same here, it's terrible at events. I'm trying to become an actuary and networking events are ass. I'm sure I've burned at least a dozen potential bridges.

I used to attribute my shitty memory to ADHD but I don't know anymore. Are you doing anything to improve your memory?

Nope.

thats exactly what i did, I made a story from the word pairs. I went on a dress boat, surrounded by a garden which was green, i had an apple I chose to eat and my girlfriend give me some mouth time etc. Anyway, scored 72%

[Anonymous No.5778070]

>>5777007
why the fuck would I pay $50 to test a test from some guy on the web?

[Anonymous No.5778075]

Got a 72. Kind of screwed myself because I thought that the memory test would only be one round, so I didn't pay attention when it went over the words again. I guess that would probably bump me up to around 80ish.

Used to be better, but I haven't been in school for a while so these things get rusty.

[Anonymous No.5778085]

I'm good at remembering things I want to, shame I can't remember what I did the day before or where I went or anything non-theoretical.

I think there must be. At my psych consultation I was told in-depth about how people with poor memory tend to drift towards straightforward work and avoid fields involving multitasking, like contracting and client-based work respectively. The doctor used law and medical school examples. As in, how students in quantitative programs vastly outperform arts students on the LSATs, but are on-par with them in law school. Similarly, the difference in scores between arts students and science students on the MCAT is negligible since one can do extremely well by doing a million practice exams.
