Memory

 On the Short Term Word Memory Test, I scored 12/12 because I made up a story to help me remember the words in a succession of each other. This test was valid because it tests a reasonable number of items in a data set to test short-term memory, and thus is a good indicator of short-term memory capabilities.  On the Face Memory Test, I scored 6/10 and I think that it is a valid form of visual short-term memory.  Although I do think that it is a bit arbitrary and not as valid of a test as the word one because remembering specific symbols for visual things is not given a name as words are and thus are more susceptible to forgetfulness.  In the Problem Solving Test, I received a high creativity score, and I do not think that this is a valid test for memory or creativity.  It is not valid for memory because that is not what the questions are centered around, and it is not valid for creativity because it is a self-reported questionnaire that is filled at the unreliable whims of the participant and does not yield testable answers regarding results.
