Back when I was a senior in high school a bunch of the students and several teachers were playing this Facebook game called How Big is Your Brain. There were four categories and you'd play a minigame that was ostensibly designed to test said category. The first involved analytical skills and would either make you count blocks as fast as possible (I was pretty good at this) or present several items on scales and make you pick the heaviest item as quickly as possible (I was horrible at this); the second either presented an equation and made you pick the missing sign (I was alright at this, but math is my weak point) or just do generic arithmetic (I was bad at this, I'm not good at doing this stuff fast, and once it got into using parentheses I'd make little mistakes and little mistakes would for some reason throw me off balance and I'd start making retarded mistakes); the third was memory and would either be matching cards after seeing them for a second (I was good at this) or memorizing a lineup of objects (I was bad at this, especially when it got to the Japanese food products I had no way of quickly encoding); and the third was visual/spatial and either made you click asteroids with numbers/letters on them going from lowest to highest or alphabetical order (I was good at this) or pick which pieces are missing from a puzzle (I was bad at this, but I've gotten better)
I had the highest score with 2360, only one teacher was a few dozen points behind me. It just sent me a notification because I haven't used it in months, and I tried it again. It makes me mad now, because I've apparently atrophied, I'm getting barely 2000 points. That makes me feel dumb and sad.
