INFORMATION PROCESSING:
Your ability to process and understand information so that you can recall and apply it when necessary.
THIS SKILL IS GOOD TO PRIORITIZE IF…
You struggle to remember new things – especially school-related information.
You do well if you have to remember facts, but not so well when asked deeper questions about meanings and relationships to other things.
You find it difficult to remember things under pressure – your mind just blanks.
