Stroop Colour & Word Test
The Stroop Color and Word Test is based on the observation that individuals can read words much faster than they can identify and name colors.
The cognitive dimension tapped by the Stroop is associated with cognitive flexibility, resistance to interference from outside stimuli, creativity, and psychopathology—all of which influence the individual’s ability to cope with cognitive stress and process complex input.
Do this test for some cognitive flexibility to prepare you for the day!
- Read out the words as fast as you can
- Read out the colours you see as fast as you can
