Online Test Measures Speed of your Brain

KingSkippus writes "According to CNet, a company named Posit Science has produced an online test using Flash that uses sounds to measure the speed of your brain down to the millisecond. According to the company, the test 'measures auditory processing (listening) speed—one of many measures of brain function...The faster we can take in information accurately, the better we can keep up with, respond to and remember what we hear.'"

64-bit owners too smart

[XanC]

We who use 64-bit browsers already know we're smart! We don't need (and can't use) this test.

I still can't decide if the absence of 64-bit Flash is a blessing or a curse...

But what if I'm smart enuf to see that it's bogus

[Harmonious Botch]

What if I'm smart enough to instantly recognize that this test is bogus?

Brain speed?

[gmerideth]

The flash component required to view "provides spacfic sounds" so the brain test didn't get past the spelling test before I cancelled it.

Incompatible...

DAMNIT! Why can't I get some friggin' SUPPORT here, people?!? It's the same lame excuse every time -- brain tests, operating systems, popular gaming titles, girlfriends: "Sorry...not compatible."

You know what, FINE! Keep your silly brain test... I'm going to go spend some quality time with my Mac, playing Breakout...

Spacific?

[entrylevel]

The Shockwave application wanted to install a component so that my computer could "generate spacific sounds"... Anyone trying to sell me a brain tester damn well better be able to spell "specific".

Well, Microserf Brain Speed Anyways...

If anyone was wondering why the average test score seemed a little on the LOW side...

Oblig. Homer Quote

[arrrrg]

So does this mean that I am smart, or that I'm just dumb faster?

Offtopic, but hilarious nonetheless:

Max Power (Homer): Kids, there's three ways to do things. The right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!
Bart: Isn't that the wrong way?
Max Power: Yeah, but faster! (Max runs into a cactus)

Hmm...

Wow! Their brains are so fast they skipped over learning how to pluralize!

More correctly,

[ScrewMaster]

it measures the speed of electronic funds transfer, if you're foolish enough to actually buy that program.

Re:Mouse use speed?

[Cylix]

I managed an 87 (down from 100).

It's official...

I'm clinically retarded.

On the bright side, I think I qualify for better parking.

I'll probably try it again later... I'm just a bit exhausted right now and I keep making mistakes.
