    Test your face-name memory

    We often experience trouble remembering the name of a person we have previously met despite recognizing their face as being familiar.

    A person's ability to successfully recall names to the faces of people they have recently met can be termed face-name memory IQ.

    I just ran the test a single time (late afternoon for me) & my sore:

    Your immediate memory IQ score: 92

    22% of the 15518 people that have so far completed this task have performed worse than you did.

    You correctly identified 75% of items.

    I'll try it early in the morning in the next few days.

    19% of the 18813 people...

    You correctly identified 73% of the items

    Hmm, ok, I thought that they may have more then 1 set of pictures/names to show you, but they don't, so taking the test a 2nd time you couldn't really compare the results.

    This time 1/2 way through the morning I scored:

    Well, I went ahead and did day 2 of the test. I didn't fair so well after 24 hours.

    Your Long Term Memory IQ score - 72

    4% of the 2298 people that have so far completed this task have performed worse than you did.

    You correctly identified 57% of the items.

    Now that's the memory I know and love. :D

    Not as bad as I thought I'd do:

    Your immediate memory score IQ: 115

    82% of the 26271 people that have so far completed this task have performed worse than you did.

    You correctly identified 89% of items.

    Note: your face-name memory IQ score is based on the scores of people who have completed this task thus far. This memory IQ score is only one measure of face-name memory and is only an approximation of this type.
