Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Want to see how flexible your brain is – and how the plasticity is fixed to rewire for new approaches?

Here’s a mind game – called the Stroop Test, which indicates the flexibility of your frontal lobes.

Even though the test appears easy, scientists draw on this test to measure the human brain’s ability to override set behaviors – with a newer approach.

Your reaction time will show your brain’s executive function – or indicate the flexibility of your higher reasoning intelligence.

In the Stroop test located here, you’ll say the color of a word – rather than what the word says. The name of the game is to move fast. When you complete all the words, simply click the finish button. Your completion time will appear.

Compare your time with average times recorded by age:

Age 20 – 59 averages         55 seconds
Age 60 – 74 averages         71 seconds
Over 75 years averages       78 seconds
