Stan, I wondered if it might make people worry if they didn't do well. Did you have trouble with the actual test or using the mouse. If you have problems with your hands moving the mouse fast that could be the problem. What advice did they give you/?

I think we all did Stan, they warned us that we would. I wouldn't worry too much if you don't have any other significant problems. But if you do, speak to your GP.

I got 71 - but I'm only 54 - well 55 in a couple of weeks.
I won't worry about forgetting words anymore- just adds to the hilarity at work- especially if I'm trying to write a serious 'grown up' e-mail :-S

I must confess I am one of the people who looked at the replies but didn't do the test. I score very badly in the spatial awareness sections in IQ tests, and I have an appalling memory for names - so I thought, in this case, ignorance is probably bliss. Today is Monday, and the Prime Minister is David Cameron - will that do :-S
