If you're interested in a fun way to assess where you're at, Dr. Cappon has created a board game for that purpose. (You can buy it by calling (416) 792-2072 in Canada). In addition to his game, Dr. Cappon has devised several exercises for testing your own intuitive ability at home. Here are two of Dr. Cappon's homegrown tests. Try them yourself. |

Ask a friend to draw an image on a paper and then cut it into six or seven pieces, sort of like a puzzle (but with straighter edges). Make sure that your friend doesn't let you know what he drew ahead of time! Then ask him to scatter the miscellaneous pieces in a random arrangement on a table. As soon as you look at the pieces, ask your friend to time youbut you're allowed only seven seconds! If you can identify the image in seven seconds or less, consider the experiment a success! |

Ask a friend to select several sets of photos that you haven't seen. Each set should include photos that show a sequential event (for example, a building before and after it is torn down). Your friend should time you, allowing you to look at each photo for just seven seconds. The catch is that you will try to predict what the second picture will show after seeing only the first one. If you can do that, consider the test a success! |
