Digitspan
The HireVue DigitSpan game is a cognitive assessment designed to measure your short-term memory capacity. The game presents you with a sequence of characters (numbers or letters) that you must memorize and then recall in the correct order, sometimes forwards and sometimes backwards.
How to Play
You will see sequences of numbers and letters (0/O and 1/I are never used) displayed one at a time.
Remember the digits and repeat them in the correct order.
Some sequences may need to be repeated backwards.
Sequences start short and gradually increase in length.
