Forward Digit Span
You were able to remember sequences of digits that were 7 digits long. Based on the results we have so far, the average person who takes this test is able to remember 6 digits.
Not surprised - like Clod I was repeating them in groups of three. That way they are connected sounds, not numbers. Random numbers to be remembered properly (pin numbers for example) I have to use rhyming words for.

And some of those 49 must have been luck! I lost the ability to differentiate between them pretty early on. Not surprised.

I have a higher than average facility with words, and I remember meaning, grammar and quotations well. I'd say this tested a type of memory rather than affinity with words. BTW the only one I was genuinely confident of was Vanity - Essence, because I immediately thought Vanilla Essence! when it came up
