In this month’s Good Housekeeping I found this fun little exercise that helps determine just how healthy your memory is.
You need about 30 minutes for this quiz, although the entire exercise takes less than 5 minutes.
Set a timer for two minutes, then study the list of words provided below. When the bell rings, put the list aside and do something else that’s distracting – check your email, do laundry, read a paper, anything that can distract you for a short time
Twenty minutes later, write down as many of the words as you can remember – in any order.
| Violin | Cradle |
| Balloon | Mast |
| Stereo | Lizard |
| Building | Teacher |
| Strawberry | Oven |
What the score means:
8 or more words:
You’re a memory superstar.
5-7 words:
This is typical for middle-aged people. Learning a few brain boosting tricks will help
4 or fewer words:
A low score doesn’t mean you’re headed for senility, but you should take a look at your life. The issue may be your stress levels. Explore what factors may be interfering with your memory.
