Grid Challenge
IntellectualA dot memory test in the format of gridChallenge, Aon's official name for its working memory module: dots flash one by one on a scattered field, quick yes or no puzzles interrupt between flashes, then you click the dots back in order.
Overview
The Grid Challenge is a dot memory test modelled on the working memory module that Aon publishes under the official name gridChallenge, part of the smartPredict battery used in cut-e style pilot and graduate screenings. You remember where and in which order dots light up on a scattered dot field while an unrelated yes or no puzzle interrupts after every flash, the classic complex span structure of storage plus processing. The 9 minute, 9 item session, the roughly 2 second dot flash and the three puzzle families (mirror symmetry, rotation and figure arithmetic) match the real module. The level ladder that grows the sequence from 3 dots toward 6, and the pace presets, are our own practice model, disclosed as such.
Assessments
Could show up in cut-e / Aon-based selections.

Example: one item, start to finish
Watch the whole cycle: three flashes with a puzzle after each, then the click-order recall, including how a wrong click is fixed.
The field
The scattered dot field appears. Sixteen grey dots, no grid, and a fresh layout every item.
Game Phases
Watch the Flash
One dot on the scattered field lights up for about two seconds, then reverts. Hold its position and its place in the sequence; a flash never repeats.
Answer Between Flashes
After every flash a yes or no puzzle interrupts: is the right panel a mirror image, is it the same pattern rotated, or does a figure equation hold? Each puzzle runs its own clock, and an unanswered puzzle simply advances to the next flash.
Recall the Order
The field returns and asks where and in which order the dots appeared. Click the dots in sequence; numbered rings mark your answer, and clicking a marked dot unmarks it so the numbers reflow and you can fix mistakes before you submit.
Climb the Levels
A perfect recall moves you up a level and adds a dot to the next sequence, from three up to six; any miss steps you back down. The ladder is our practice model, and puzzle answers never move it.

Memory
10 exercisesENAC M2-back numérique
Digits come up one at a time, a new one every 3 seconds. From the third one on, you say for each digit whether it's the same as the one 2 before it. The exam format is 62 digits, 60 of them with a question.
ENAC M2-back couleurs
Coloured squares come up one at a time. From the third on, say whether each one is the same colour as the one two before it. The exam format is 42 colours, 40 answers, in 2:06.
ENAC Memory N-Back
Letters come up one at a time, and for each one you say whether it’s the same letter as the one three, four or five before it. Capitals and small letters count as the same. The exam format is two tests back to back: a 3-back then a 4-back for ENAC EPL, a 4-back then a 5-back for Air France Cadets. It hasn’t been set since 2020.
Visual N-Back
Shapes in colours go past one at a time. On every one, say whether it is the same shape AND the same colour as the one a few places back — and the lag you are matching against changes from block to block.
Associative Memory
Memorise a set of symbol–number pairs, then after a short delay recall which number went with each symbol.
Acoustic Memory Test
Hear a spoken sequence once, hold it through a filled delay, and type it back — exactly in order.
Parameter Memory Test
Aviation parameters flash up on a dark display, then vanish. Reproduce the data row by row, from memory, before the clock runs out.
ENAC Memory Calculation
You get a calculation, then a letter, then another calculation and another letter, and so on. At the end of the board, you type the letters back in the order they came. The exam format is 20 boards, from 3 letters up to 9, with 5 seconds a calculation and 1 second a letter.
ENAC Running Comparison
A stream of simple calculations, one at a time. For each one, tick whether its result is identical to or different from the one it's compared with: the result just before, the one two back, or a fixed value X, depending on the block. The exam format is 100 answers in four blocks of 25, about 12 minutes.
ENAC Reversed Series
Digits come up one at a time in the same spot, a second each. When they’ve gone, you type them back in reverse, the last one first. The sequences grow from 4 to 9 digits. The exam format is 12 sequences, about 3:30.
