My Ability Map — Measure Your Cognitive Abilities

What the map measures

The map covers five core abilities: Speed, Attention, Memory, Reasoning and Strategy. Each ability is measured by short challenges — tests, games and classic cognitive experiments. A game score is never treated as the ability itself; it is one observation of it.

How scores are calculated

Each challenge converts your raw result (milliseconds, span length, accuracy, win or loss) into a 0–100 performance score using a fixed, documented scale. Your ability score is a weighted average of your recent runs — newer runs count more. It is a self-tracking heuristic: it answers “how have I been doing recently?”, not “how capable am I?”. Scores describe your performance on these tasks, not your worth or potential.

Confidence and freshness

One or two runs give a preliminary estimate. Three or more runs across different days make a score dependable. High confidence requires five runs spread over at least three days and at least three different challenges — variety, not repetition, is what makes a score trustworthy. If an ability hasn't been measured for more than 14 days, it is marked as possibly changed.

How to read your scores

• Compare with yourself first. A score describes your recent performance on these tasks and how it changes — the trend matters more than any single number, and mixing different challenges of the same ability makes it sturdier.
• Compare with others only where marked. Challenges showing a percentile use Human Benchmark's public distributions; challenges showing a typical range use published research figures. Challenges with neither marker have no population reference yet — for those, only self-comparison applies.
• What scores cannot tell you: this is not an IQ test or a diagnosis. Ability scores are a self-tracking heuristic — they answer “how have I been doing lately?”, not “how capable am I?”. Strategy scores reflect your results against our AI at the chosen difficulty.
