How sharp is your brain?

i just stumbled upon this today - Cognifit.com. The site is about training one's brain. First, there will be three stages of assessment on how sharp your cognition is, from there, you'll see on what area you're strong at and which areas need to be improved.  After you're done with the assessment, you may begin taking the exercises provided for you by Cognifit. The site will help you boost those areas wherein you scored low. You may also invite your friends and compare results with. :)

Here's my current assessment:


 I got an average score of 418. Yeah, with cognifit, this can be increased. *winks*

Planning, Divided Attention, Shifting and Spatial Perception skill are among my weaker skills and these are the skills I need to enhance. Cognifit has exercises to offer for me to improve in those areas.

Below is the definition of each area:

Working Memory - refers to the temporary storage and manipulation of the information necessary for complex cognitive  tasks such as language comprehension, learning and reasoning.

Eye Hand Coordination - is the level of sensitivity with which the hand and eye are synchronized.

Response Time - is the ability to perceive and process a simple stimulus and respond to it.

Shifitng - is a mental process during which people redirect their focused attention from one channel of information to another as quickly as possible or change the course of actions while maintaining accurate performance.

Divided Attention - is the ability to execute more than one action at a time, while paying attention to two or more channels of information or modalities.

Planning - is the ability to think ahead, to mentally anticipate the correct way to execute a task.

Spatial Perception - is the ability to evaluate how things are arranged in space, and investigate their relations in  the environment.

Try this now and let's continue sharpening our cognitive skills! :)
