Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.    Can brain games predict what types of jobs you are best suited for.   A recent U.S. government funded study using members of the armed forces found that a 20 minute assessment using the BrainHQ app from Posit Science was successful in predicting performance in the Armed Forces Qualification Test.   Posit Science CEO Henry Mahncke…

“These basic tests of brain health and brain performance, well they’re actually highly correlated and they can predict the AFQT.  So that by knowing what your processing speed is, what your working memory capacity is, Doing that, which we can do on a computer, only takes twenty minutes, by doing just that we can actually predict most of what you get from that much longer, older test.”

I’ve been a fan of the BrainHQ app for years, meanwhile.   Find it in the app store or on the Web and try it for free.
