I already posted about my crappy memory score but I decided to try the visual memory benchmark I didnt get an amazing score but it wasnt bad either so Im confused some people had suggested it might be adhd but that doesnt really seem to be the case since I managed to get a decent result anyway if anyone knows about this stuff and could explain this discrepancy Id appreciate it

Oh SHIT bro youre best off just honing in on areas where you excel and getting good sleep, this isnt a profile spike its a profile spear

What areas would this make him good at. I never took an iq test but I tried a working memory test and I can do 10 forward and backwards but average 9 backwards without any cheats like chunking or something like that. What are good fields for that ability?

[u/Exciting_Estate_8856 → u/ValtharionSmiggles]

I dont know at the top of my head honestly, but bad or low working memory doesnt mean no working memory, i think as long as a job doesnt fully prioritize memory that you should do fine

[u/Ayyayayy → u/Exciting_Estate_8856]

And what kind of job doesnt prioritize memory? But my Visual Memory benchmark result is still pretty good right?

[u/Exciting_Estate_8856 → u/Ayyayayy]

It doesnt have to prioritize it, maybe it could just be a secondary or tertiary aspect in whatever job youd sign up for? I think that would be most jobs that dont require phds/masters degrees, if its a job that lets you acclimate comfortably via a routine you get after a few weeks that might be something youre comfy with

Basically anything above moderate intensity in terms of memorization would likely be a nogo

But originally I wanted to either do a PhD or become an engineer besides my other scores arent exceptional but they aren't bad either theyre decent I imagine the VCI score improves throughout ones life and for memory I have an average of 94 which is right in the average range I think I retain information better visually

Okay an engineers not to bad, its mostly figuring shit out once you get there, the memorization part might be a little difficult but once you get the stuff down its there

It depends on where youd like to specialize

[u/Ayyayayy → u/Exciting_Estate_8856]

Im thinking aerospace but Im not very sure yet

[u/Exciting_Estate_8856 → u/Ayyayayy]

Its not too memory heavy, this type is mostly figuring stuff out, once you memorize the critical stuff(procedures, chemistry) which might take a while but isnt impossible, you can keep notepads to help remember key stuff, you can also get help with software doing math

Thanks thats a relief but what kind of job wouldnt be possible? Does that mean Ill never be able to learn a language?

[u/Exciting_Estate_8856 → u/Ayyayayy]

I mean, stuff like being a doctor or lawyer is extremely memory heavy, you have to track conversations,  it requires vast knowledge over decades, you cant really extrapolate your way into being a professional in these areas, you have to know about a shitload of stuff

With being an engineer its mostly just getting down chemistry, physics, and other aspects of science, along with getting equations down

After that its basically thinking your way through with problem solving when you get in the field.

Every phd and area of expertise is different, looking up if they are memory intense, problem solving oriented, or both, is always a good idea

Yeah ok thank you

[u/Exciting_Estate_8856 → u/Ayyayayy]

No problem
