What It Tests

Correct and incorrect ink-color choices when the displayed word names a different color.

How It Works

Color words appear in mismatched ink. Tap the ink color, not the word. You have 45 seconds. Each correct answer adds a point; each wrong answer subtracts one. Random guessing scores zero on average.

Why It Matters

The task records correct and incorrect responses while a conflicting word competes with the requested ink-color response.

Tips to Improve

01Slow down on the first few rounds to lock in the right reading mode
02Look slightly past the word to reduce its automatic pull
03Choose either the keyboard or pointer and use it consistently
04Wrong answers cancel correct ones, so accuracy matters as much as speed
