2 Testing Your Current

Memory Capabilities

Few people ever put their memories to the immediate test, and it is
for this reason that most are unaware of the false limits, the habits
and potential of their minds. Because of the way we are trained (or
not trained) in school, the simple tasks you will soon attempt will
in some cases prove very difficult and in others almost impossible.
Yet these tasks are perfectly within the capacity of the average
human brain. Do not worry about poor performance, however,
since it is the purpose of this book to make memorisation, such as
is required in the following tests, an easy and enjoyable exercise.
