The full test can take over half an hour to complete, so make sure you set aside a bit of time if you wish to take it seriously.

Once you’re finished, you’ll be given a score based on your performance, which you can use to compare your mental dexterity to others who have taken the test.

The results page will also give you a rundown of what your mental strengths are.
