Memory And Reasoning

2ND POST - Memory and Reasoning 

Assignment- Complete 3 tests involving memory or reasoning 

Tests Completed were: 

• Memory Test using numbers
• Problem Solving Skills "How good is your problem solving"
• Situational Judement Test (apart of the multitude of tests on the last post) 

Summary- 

The memory test using numbers was relatively simple. Figure out how long you can remember numbers in 10 seconds. The test difficulty increases each round when the system adds 1 extra number. The test seems to be fairly accurate as it does test short term memory. However, this test is only comprised of numbers; other individuals may do better remembering words or letters, which is why the site also has a short-term memory test involving those variables. 

Problem solving skills test/survey- The results were fairly accurate. Comprised of a series of questions that related to.. well problem solving, the survey has explained that I have a "hit or miss" aproach to things and while I understand the proper problem solving method, I don't always abide by their conditions. After given you a general overview of how you approach a problem, the survey goes into detail on specific attributes that you excel or need improvement on ( ex. finding facts/ finding ideas).


Situational Judgement test-  Based off of certain work scenarios, the test examined how well one would respond in said situations. While getting a perfect on the test, I don't feel it actually represents how one problem solves. Understanding how to respond to a certain situation and ACTUALLY doing it are two completely different things.


Overall, the surveys were fairly accurate in the sense that each test could give you an estimate on your memorization and reasoning skills.

Here's a link that states how antihistmaines (a type of of allergy drug) can actually improve long term memory.
