The Chimp Test

This test is based on research showing that chimpanzees can outperform humans on certain memory tasks.

Numbers will briefly appear on the screen. Click them in order from 1 to N as quickly as possible. After clicking the first number, the rest will be hidden.

Chimp Test - Working Memory Challenge

Are you smarter than a chimpanzee? This test is based on fascinating research from Kyoto University showing that chimps can outperform humans on certain memory tasks. Numbers appear briefly on a grid, and you must click them in ascending order. The catch? After clicking the first number, all others become hidden. For more number-based memory training, try our number memory test to expand your digit recall abilities.

Starting with 4 numbers, the difficulty increases each round as more numbers are added to the sequence. You have 3 lives to reach your highest score. This tests your ability to quickly encode spatial positions and maintain them in working memory while performing a sequential task. You can also test your spatial recall with our visual memory grid test.

The chimp test highlights the remarkable eidetic (photographic) memory capabilities that chimps possess. While humans typically max out around 7-9 numbers, trained chimps consistently reach higher scores. Test your pure speed with our reaction time test. Regular practice can improve your visual working memory, spatial awareness, and rapid information processing skills.
