Your score = 70


What does your score mean?
Your results indicate that you have very little difficulty remembering things. When it comes to absorbing information or recalling details, it appears as though you have quite a few sponge-like qualities. Keep in mind however, that like many cognitive functions, memory does tend to deteriorate with age. The good news is that there are a number of techniques that can be used to improve memory recall, including mnemonic devices (e.g. using a rhyme to recall State capitals), or making visual associations (e.g. remembering your client Scarlet Jones’ name by picturing her driving a red car). Of course, writing things down couldn’t hurt either! Although factors such as fatigue, stress or poor diet can play a role in poor recall, other, more serious causes of forgetfulness include tumors, medication side effects, Depression, and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Even though it didn't test anything, and the test is kind of subjective.... my memory problem is a serious issue for me. I don't even remember any details, unless I can string them onto some connection.

I often remember the connection, and forget what I am connecting.

And I can never use mnemonic devices, I have to remember the mnemonic...

The only thing that seems to help is if what I need to remember is put to music... vague intangible things... like melodies stick in my head.

Your results indicate that you have a fairly good memory, but do suffer from the occasional memory lapse. The good news is that there are a number of techniques that can be used to improve memory recall, including mnemonic devices (e.g. using a rhyme to recall State capitals), or making visual associations (e.g. remembering your client Scarlet Jones’ name by picturing her driving a red car).
