Memory test: what it is for
The test has two modes. In the numbers mode, a number appears for a few seconds and disappears, and you type it from memory; each time you get it right, it gains a digit. In the sequence mode, squares light up in order and you tap them in the same order, with one more step each round.
The chart shows how people usually do, with the average of 7 digits (the magical number 7 ± 2 from psychology) and your record highlighted.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average result?
Most adults remember 7 digits, ranging from 5 to 9: it is the famous magical number 7 ± 2 from psychology. In the square sequence, the average is around 8 to 9 steps.
Can memory be trained?
Yes. Grouping the numbers into chunks (like 489 271 53), creating images or stories and sleeping well improve the result a lot. Repeating the test often also helps.
