I got 100% of the questions correct on both tests, but I was slower than normal on the task juggling portion. I averaged about 1.4 seconds per question.

Oddly, the research suggests that the people who multi-task the most are actually slower at switching tasks than people who multi-task very little. I don't know if there's any substance to this, but I do know that multi-tasking makes me feel like my attention is fragmented and I probably get less accomplished overall than I do when I decide to focus on a single thing at at time.

There was also an interesting article accompanying the test. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/07/technology/07brain.html
