What is the visual memory test practice (corsi block)?
The Corsi block-tapping test measures visuospatial working memory — your ability to remember where things happened and in what order. Blocks on a grid light up one after another, and you tap them back in the same sequence. Each correct answer adds one more block, so the game quickly finds your visual memory span.
Game-based assessments from HireVue-style vendors use this exact mechanic in their spatial memory games. It complements the digit span test: digits measure verbal working memory, blocks measure spatial working memory. Most adults manage 5–6 blocks; 7+ is an excellent score.
Tips that actually help: trace the path with your eyes and turn it into a shape ("L, then diagonal up"), anchor the first block firmly before the sequence moves on, and replay the path once in your head before tapping. Spatial chunking improves fast with a few days of practice.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Corsi block test used for in hiring?
Employers use it inside game-based assessments to measure visuospatial working memory — how well you hold locations and sequences in mind. It predicts performance in roles involving navigation, monitoring dashboards, and multitasking.
What is a good Corsi block span?
The average adult visual memory span is 5 to 6 blocks. Reaching 7 puts you in the top quarter of test takers, and 8 or more is an excellent result.
How is this different from the digit span test?
Digit span measures verbal working memory (numbers you rehearse in your head), while the Corsi block test measures spatial working memory (locations and order). Assessments often include both, so it is worth practising both.
Can I improve my visual memory span?
Yes. Turning block sequences into shapes or paths ("mental drawing") is a learnable strategy that typically adds one or two blocks to your span within a couple of weeks of short daily practice.
