Results from my taking these two tests from this article: YOUR BRAIN ON COMPUTERS: Hooked on Gadgets, and Paying a Mental Price. The article is about multitasking and human brains… nothing we probably haven’t already heard before.
But they included two “Tests” that you can take… one to test your focus and ability to filter out distractions, the other to test how quickly you can switch tasks.
