Chimp Test

Numbers flash briefly on screen, then get covered by white squares. Tap them in order — 1, 2, 3 — from memory.

Based on the Inoue & Matsuzawa (2007) study at Kyoto University showing young chimpanzees consistently outperform human adults at this working memory task. The average human reaches level 5–6. Chimps regularly reach level 9+.
