  I believe the first test isn't valid because there's no timer testing your short term memory. I was able to keep this tab open and glimpse at it from the time I was in class until I got home, so the memorization wasn't very short term. My score were good though :). I think this test was more valid than the past test because you couldn't stare at the picture for long periods of time. Also, photos repeated many time or repeated once at the beginning and again at the end, giving a variety to the test. I did good on this test too. This test felt the most valid because it is testing different variations of something humans interact with in everyday life. We think we know what it looks like, but when it comes down to it we don't really know what it looks like. I was able to get this right first try. Summary: I think I'm just good at memory tests.

 For my topic I choose psychology tricks to make someone like you. So here are 5 interesting trick I found. 1. Reveal your flaws with them every once in a while. People like you more if you are able to make mistakes them fix them because they find you competent and relatable. 2. Let them talk about themselves. Studies show that people gain validation from having others listens to them talk about their lives. 3. Wait a few seconds before answering a question. It'll make the person seem like you're deeply contemplating what they asked. 4. Rather them surface level compliment specific things that others may notice. We all feel happy getting compliments that are specific to our personality. 5. If you're in a group setting try to highlight things they do well.
