Multitasking Test

What is it about?

Multitasking means "doing multiple tasks simultaneously", but since that's physically impossible for a human being, it's essentially the switching between tasks. There have been many questions about whether or not multitasking was actually harmful to productivity, and studies show that there are actually costs in both speed and accuracy when multitasking, particularly when complex tasks are involved. This app uses playing cards to test speed and accuracy when doing tasks separately, then when switching between them. The findings are what can be expected: multitasking is harmful to time spent and quality. Give it a try!
