yeah, this stuff actually works. as long as you create associations yourself as you go, obviously
on the number memory test, I usually get 16 or 17 based on raw/visual memory alone, but 22-24 when I use mnemotechniques and memory techniques in general + get lucky with the digits given (for instance, i'll just remember 648 as peace of westphalia, or 2381 as a pic of mj and kobe together; your brain will lead you back to the digits automatically)
memory palace can be useful too

Do you also, like me, notice that your typing speed on that site stays the same, or possible rises, after 6-8 alcoholic beverages?

idk, i m pretty bad at all those tests except verbal/number memory
always got shitty results at the typing speed test, and english being my 2nd language isn't a factor since it's simpler than my native one
