The Multitask Test
I have blogged about the drawbacks of multitasking in the post: Multitasking–Don’t do it… But all of us do some amount of multitasking everyday. Even though our brains slow down when we multitask, some are better than others in doing that, even though it doesn’t prevent them from making mistakes or diluting the quality of their work.
If you want to compare your multitasking skills with others, you can do it. Allison Morris has created a multitask test to do this. So if you are better than the rest at multitasking, then test your tasking abilities and see how they stack up against others: Check out the following interactive multitasking exercise, and see how well your brain performs when it juggles multiple tasks—your results could surprise you!
