What is Chimp Memory Test

The Chimpanzee Test is designed to evaluate your working memory, inspired by a famous study where chimpanzees outperformed humans in this task. The test highlights the remarkable ability of chimps to recall digits, with some chimps successfully remembering 9 digits over 90% of the time.

In this test, you start by memorizing a sequence of 4 digits. Each time you pass a level, the sequence grows longer by one digit. If you make a mistake, you get a strike, and after three strikes, the test ends.

Can you match the chimps’ memory skills?

Statistics

Guidance to Play Chimp Memory Test

The Chimp Test involves placing numbers in random locations on the screen and then being asked to repeat the same pattern. Each level becomes more difficult after every successful attempt raises the number of digits visible.

Fun fact: this test’s name resulted from chimpanzees scoring higher than humans, which is unsurprising given what we now know about their cognition.
At this level, there are only four numbers to look at, which is why it’s not very difficult to remember where they belong. However, most people fail to follow the figures once they reach six or seven isolated digits with commas at each period of three. At the same time, the chimpanzees successfully remember patterns with nine numbers without any deviations from the average, as a rule, surpassing people’s scores. Do you think that you’ll be able to hurdle the seven-number mark? You could become incredible, achieving 8 or 9 numbers and practically compete with a chimpanzee in this incredible memory test.
