The Stroop Test is a psychological reaction game that challenges your concentration, impulse control, and mental flexibility. Your task is to match the text to the correct color. Sounds easy? Not quite—especially when the word “Blue” suddenly appears in red letters.
This type of cognitive conflict activates multiple areas of your brain at once and measures how well you deal with conflicting information. It’s ideal for focus training and as a quick, engaging self-test.
5 Tips for the Stroop Test:
1. Do not see, but read
Ignore the color of the word - focus exclusively on text.
2. Think out loud
Saying the color aloud helps you focus and avoid automatic reading responses.
3. Increase speed gradually
Start slow and only speed up when your accuracy improves.
4. Repeat the test regularly
Consistent practice boosts both your performance and overall attention span.
5. Stay calm after mistakes
Mistakes are normal—don’t get frustrated. Take a breath and refocus.
