Or are you like me? Expecting at any moment to be outed as an intellectual fraud. It's an area of high,possibly pathological,insecurity for me. I think it connects to the bullying related trauma. Being treated as a lesser person by my school age contemporaries, especially as a teenager.
How consistent are your reactions?
An intelligent young person should do better than an intelligent pensioner- like me.

So, out of curiosity, I did this. Not for any results but just to see what it was about. I did what I thought were at LEAST 20 squares. I continued. Then I thought "it's taking the p I s s....is this part of the test!?" . Little did I realise I HADN'T followed the instructions correctly and was pressing "start test" each time. Thus resetting the test everytime there was a square.
Doing this on a device - my keypad didn't pop up.
It's much slower, and the reaction time standard deviation much greater, doing that. Alt method top. Enter method bottom
same with me.
Also, whoever devised the test needs to give proper instructions. You can press the square itself rather than enter on a keypad but it doesn't say this.
