TestMyBrain Trail Making A/B
Determine your processing speed and flexibility
The Trail Making Test is one of the most widely used neuropsychological tests. Its first part measures how quickly you can scan and connect targets; its second part adds switching between two sequences, a core part of cognitive flexibility.
In this TestMyBrain version, you connect numbered dots in order (1-2-3 …), then alternate between numbers and letters (1-A-2-B …). Put simply, it measures how quickly you work, and how much you slow down when you have to switch back and forth.
On the following pages, you can determine your processing speed and flexibility by completing a short task. It has to be completed in one sitting.
The results will be provided immediately after you have completed the final trial. Please note that the results you receive can only be reliable to the extent that you work attentively and without help.
This test is part of the validation study for the Quantitative Socionics Inventory. In case of any question, please write an e-mail (contact@quantitativesocionics.org) to the research team.
About this test
- Procedure
- Connect numbered dots in order (Trail A: 1-2-3 …), then alternate numbers and letters (Trail B: 1-A-2-B …), as quickly and accurately as possible. Each trail has a short practice.
- Main outcome
- Median time between consecutive correct targets, for each trail (ms).
- Also reported
- Trail A, total time (ms) · Trail A, errors · Trail A, mean time between targets (ms) · Trail A, SD of time between targets (ms) · Trail B, median time between targets (ms) · Trail B, total time (ms) · Trail B, errors · Trail B, mean time between targets (ms) · Trail B, SD of time between targets (ms) · TestMyBrain score
- Input
- Mouse or touch screen.
- Study
- Your answers are stored anonymously under the same private profile as the Quantitative Socionics Inventory, so that results can be compared across participants.
