What Each Test Measures

Each test targets a distinct cognitive domain grounded in peer-reviewed neuropsychology. Read the science page for full methodology and clinical paradigm references.

Speed & Reaction

How fast your nervous system detects a stimulus, processes it, and produces a motor response. Peaks around age 24 and declines ~2ms/year after 30. Primarily measures peripheral and central processing velocity.

Reaction Time - Simple RT paradigm (Donders, 1868) Aim Trainer - Visuomotor integration (Fitts' Law) Aim Tracking - Continuous moving-target control Click Speed - Repeated clicking rate (CPS) Processing Speed - Symbol Digit Modalities Test Typing Speed - Procedural motor speed

Working Memory

The brain's capacity to hold and manipulate information over seconds. Baddeley's model splits this into the phonological loop (verbal), visuospatial sketchpad (spatial), and episodic buffer (integrated). Working memory span predicts academic and professional performance.

Number Memory - Phonological loop (Wechsler digit span) Sequence Memory - Visuospatial sketchpad (Corsi block) Visual Memory - Spatial pattern recognition (Phillips, 1974) Chimp Test - Delayed match-to-position (Matsuzawa, 2007)

Attention & Vigilance

Sustained attention - The ability to stay focused on a task over time while suppressing impulsive responses. Mediated by the right prefrontal cortex and locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system. Assessed clinically for ADHD and traumatic brain injury.

Attention & Focus - Continuous Performance Test (CPT-X) Verbal Memory - Recognition memory (Shepard, 1967) Pattern Recognition - Change detection (Rensink, 2000)

Executive Function

Higher-order cognitive control - Planning, task-switching, inhibition, and reasoning. Orchestrated by the prefrontal cortex. Most sensitive to aging among all cognitive domains. The MoCA was specifically designed to screen for executive function deficits.

MoCA Test - Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Nasreddine, 1996) Trail Making - Task-switching, cognitive flexibility (Reitan, 1958) Processing Speed - Cognitive throughput (SDMT, Smith 1968)

Inhibitory Control

The ability to suppress an automatic, habitual response in favour of a deliberate one. Mediated by the right inferior frontal gyrus. Deficits are a hallmark of ADHD, addiction, and schizophrenia. These tests measure how well you override your own reflexes.

Stroop Test - Color-word interference (Stroop, 1935) Flanker - Selective attention (Eriksen & Eriksen, 1974) Go/No-Go - Impulse inhibition (Donders, 1868) Anti-Saccade - Oculomotor inhibition (Hallett, 1978)

Fluid Intelligence

The ability to reason and solve novel problems independent of accumulated knowledge. Closely linked to working memory capacity and prefrontal-parietal network efficiency. Raven's Progressive Matrices is the most widely used culture-fair measure of g (general intelligence).

Raven's Matrices - Fluid g (Raven, 1936) Mini IQ Test - Multi-domain reasoning estimate Mental Rotation - Visuospatial reasoning (Shepard & Metzler, 1971) Cognitive Reflection - System 2 thinking (Frederick, 2005)

Perception & Sensory

Pre-attentive and low-level perceptual processes - How your visual and auditory systems encode stimuli before higher-order cognition kicks in. These tests reveal sensory limits that most people have never measured.

Color Blindness - Ishihara color vision screening Peripheral Vision - Visual field detection breadth Subitizing - Pre-attentive numerosity (Kaufman et al., 1949) Audio Reaction Time - Auditory vs. visual RT comparison Hearing Test - Pure-tone frequency detection

How Scores Change With Age

All cognitive scores peak in the early-to-mid twenties and decline with age, but at very different rates. Speed tests decline fastest; vocabulary and crystallized knowledge hold up longest. Figures based on published norms and large public datasets.

Age comparisons are most useful when the device and test conditions stay the same. Use the table as context, then compare your own repeated results rather than treating one score as a diagnosis.
Age Group Reaction Time
16–19 245ms
20–29 (peak) 240ms
30–39 255ms
40–49 277ms
50–59 309ms
60–69 355ms
70+ 401ms

Values are approximations drawn from published cognitive-aging research. Full analysis at science page → Age Effects.

Which Test Should I Take?

Depends on what you want to measure or improve. Every test provides a different window into your cognitive profile.

I'm a gamer

Reaction time and aim accuracy are core to competitive gaming. Start with Reaction Time, then Aim Trainer for visuomotor precision, and Choice Reaction Time to benchmark Hick's Law.

How Tests Correlate

People who score well on one test tend to score well on related tests - But not all tests share the same cognitive substrate. The table below shows typical correlation strength between test pairs (r = approximate Pearson coefficient from the cognitive-psychology literature). See also: pattern recognition vs. IQ and processing speed vs. reaction time.

Speed cluster

Reaction, targeting, and processing tests share some speed demands but are not interchangeable.

Memory cluster

Number, sequence, and visual tasks overlap while loading verbal and spatial systems differently.

Weak cross-domain links

A strong score in one domain does not guarantee a strong score in an unrelated one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these tests medically validated?
They are based on validated neuropsychological paradigms - Each test has a named clinical source (listed on the science page). However, they are educational tools, not clinical diagnostics. They should not be used to diagnose any cognitive disorder or replace professional neuropsychological assessment.
How often should I take these tests?
Most tests show meaningful improvement with practice during the first 3–5 sessions, then plateau as you reach your stable baseline. For tracking genuine cognitive change (e.g., effects of exercise, sleep, or training), weekly sessions over 4+ weeks provide a reliable trend. Do not take the same test multiple times in one sitting - Fatigue and practice effects will skew results.
Can I actually improve my scores?
Yes - With the right approach per test. Reaction Time improves most with consistent practice and reduced anticipation. Number Memory improves with chunking strategies. Typing Speed improves linearly with deliberate practice. Memory tests are harder to improve beyond your biological working memory ceiling, though strategies help significantly.
What is a good score?
It depends on the test - Use the benchmark table above. As a rule of thumb: scoring in the top 25% on any test is solid, top 10% is excellent, and top 1% places you among the best who have ever taken it. Most users are genuinely surprised to find they're above average on several tests.
Why do my scores vary between sessions?
Single-session performance has ±15–30% variance due to fatigue, caffeine, time of day, and device conditions. The 20–29 age bracket shows the lowest variance; older adults show higher session-to-session variability. For the most stable score, take tests mid-morning after adequate sleep.
