Memory

 I took: Memory test Picture short term memory test Creative problem solving test I would say the first two are fairly valid as they test what they claim to test. The first memory test requires you to look at a list of words, move on after a certain amount of time, and then attempt to recall them. Out of the 12 words I remembered 8 correctly and added a bogus word. The second memory test is the same principle as the first, except this time with pictures. I got all of them correct on this one, go me!!11!!11 The third one doesn't seem as valid. It asks self assessment questions as well as some "what would you do" questions. People may answer these questions differently depending on mood or arousal, and may look at the situations depending on their environment. I got a 76 on this one, which does seem about right in terms of looking for creative solutions overall. But I do think that the test needs more nuance to be properly valid.
