Changes

Some of the artifacts will differ between tests so comparing results from multiple tests may result in a single decent time series strongly dependent on skill. If these solutions are not enough, one of the tests may correlate and generalize to an established validated cognitive test. That would still allow experimentation on and optimization of a skill, but through a cognitive ability.

=== Cognitive Test ===

=== Cognitive Health Test ===

Everyone should track their cognitive ability as much as health-conscious people track their heartrate and exercise. Formal cognitive testing takes too much time, relevance to user's productivity goals is often questionable. An alternative that solves both is skill trainers like typing tutors. To generalize to cognition and health the skill test must correlate with other cognitive things or health things. Wozniak of supermemo has found correlation between sleep and flash card skill.  

Everyone should track their cognitive ability as much as health-conscious people track their heartrate and exercise. [[Quantified Mind|Formal cognitive testing]] takes too much time and effect on daily life of the specific thing the cognitive test tests is often questioned. Skill trainers and testers like typing tutors have neither problem but do not necessarily generalize to cognition and health. Even if a skill test is useful for optimizing the skill, things like psychological dependencies may not make it a good . The skill test must correlate with validated cognitive tests or obviously important health things. Wozniak of supermemo has found correlation between sleep and flash card skill.
