INTERPRETATION:
Note that poor scores may be due to factors such as anxiety and inattention and not
just from memory difficulties. Doing well on this simple quiz also does not ensure that
you have no memory or cognitive difficulties.
The best indicator of your memory is your own assessment of your abilities. A
perceived consistent change in your mental capacity is a far more sensitive indicator of
cognitive difficulties than most tests, including this one. You should seek further help
if this is the case.If you scored a 27 or 28, congratulations!
If you scored between 22 and 26, you may have some memory difficulties that, if persistent
and interfering with function, may need to be evaluated.
If you scored 21 or below, and you have noticed that you have difficulty with your memory
or thinking abilities of sufficient severity to interfere with functioning, you probably
would benefit from a good evaluation.
