A pattern of squares flashes on the grid. When it disappears, click every square that was lit. Each level adds one square and the grid gets bigger. You have three lives.

This test measures short-term spatial memory: how many positions you can hold in mind for a few seconds. Level 1 flashes 3 squares on a 3 x 3 grid. Every level adds a square, and the grid grows from 3 x 3 up to 7 x 7. A wrong click costs a life and replays the level with a new pattern. Your best level is saved in this browser only.
| Level reached | Rating |
|---|---|
| 1 - 4 | Below average |
| 5 - 8 | Average |
| 9 - 12 | Above average |
| 13 or more | Exceptional |
These bands are rough guides, not a clinical test.
A grid of squares flashes a pattern for about a second, then goes blank. You click the squares that were lit. Each level adds one more square, and the grid grows as you advance.
Reaching level 6 to 8 is typical for adults. Level 10 or higher is a strong result.
Every wrong click costs one of your three lives and the level restarts with a new pattern. The run ends when all three lives are gone.
