Re: This will drive you nuts
Not really very hard.
I took it to 170 points and started to get very bored, does it ever stop ....

Re: This will drive you nuts
Yep, driving me nuts ok.....
Just seems to go on and on, with no end in sight.....
I'm assuming there is a point to it?

Re: This will drive you nuts
quite a fun game - apparently i have an IQ of a 100 now, and that's good enough for me  I like the way there is a three-second gap in between the displays so you can read the adverts on the right hand side of the page

Is it supposed to be an exercise in IQ or in boredom threshold?
I don't really see what intelligence has got to do with it, just scan the groups of colours until you spot the difference. Not hard.

Re: This will drive you nuts
I think it's meant to be a vague version of a working memory test, which are often given to assess someone's IQ, but it's not really hard enough to be a true assessment. normally they get you to do things like recite strings of numbers - then recite a whole load of others, but backwards, which is really hard

Re: This will drive you nuts
It would make more sense if you saw one picture for a few seconds and then that one dissapeared and your were shown the other, then you had to say which square was different.....

I don't see what this has to do with working memory. It's not even time limited is it? Attention perhaps, but it's nothing like backward digit span.

I thought that's what they were going for - testing the visuospatial sketchpad and mental imagery, both of which have been tied to WM.

Re: This will drive you nuts
It is time related, as you go on the little green bar next to your score depletes more and more quickly (tbh it's barely noticeable though).
I managed 270 and then my connection broke so I'll have to restart 
Don't think I'll bother though, it gets tedious after a while.....

Indeed, the Visuospatial Sketchpad is one of the components of WM

Errrm No... Mental Imagery is a process that draws upon WM, as most processes do (excluding automatic processes)
