I'm slow, but otherwise not too bad.

They're asking us questions like are we left or right-handed and how high our education is. Does anyone else wonder if they're trying to get information from us to give to the government?

Those kind of questions are often asked. I don't see anything suspicious in that .

Speed
On average, you took 4.22 seconds to find and select an item. Other participants needed 3.22 seconds on average.

Memory
On average, you made 0 mistake(s) when remembering memorized symbols. Other people made 0.14 mistakes on average. Fantastic!

Attention on the clicking task
We also measured how much attention you paid to the clicking task (sorry, we cannot tell you how we did it right now because we do not want others to game the test). Your attention score did not change much regardless of how many symbols you had to memorize. This is unusual. Other participants lost on average 0.3 attention points for every symbol they had to memorize. In other words, on this test, you were immune to the bad effects of multitasking.

Interesting that so far everyone had the same Attention on the clicking task result.

failed so miserably at the symbol memorization parts that i could not complete the test. this is the very same problem i had with the postal carrier exam, with the very same category of recalling objects that i can't seem to do.

Attention on the clicking task
We also measured how much attention you paid to the clicking task (sorry, we cannot tell you how we did it right now because we do not want others to game the test). Your attention score got worse the more symbols you had to memorise. This is normal. Most people do worse on each individual task if they have to keep several of them in mind at once. Specifically, you lost 3 attention points for every additional symbol you had to keep in memory while other participants lost on average 0.3 attention points for every symbol they had to memorize.
