Help me with science fair! The final chapter!

[Pip Boy]

Over the last few months I've posted a thread every now and then related to picking a topic on science fair/how to do stuff and the like. In the end, I had to pull something out of my ass that vaguely resembled a science fair project. Incidentally, it won 4th place in my school and I am now being given the opportunity to go on to a regional science fair.

Fact is, this only happened because my science teacher is a dumb bitch that had no idea I put 0 effort into this and that it had almost no scientific basis whatsoever. BUT, now that I have a month and a half left until the regional science fair, I'd like to re-test with certain changes that WILL make it a valid test.

The original experiment was a lot like this... 4 test subjects took a homemade math test of addition problems randomly generated by an Excel spreadsheet. Subjects were timed on how long it took to completion and measured how many out of 12 problems they answered correctly. A reaction time test was also done. Each subject then played World of Warcraft for 8 hours nonstop, then retook those two tests for comparison.

There was actually virtually no deviation between before and after test results from the first test, and I'd really prefer to go for a more psychological than mathematical test when I retest. I'm changing a variety of things with this second testing such as the number of participants, I'm switching to an even ratio of boys and girls (the last group was mono-gendered); But most importantly I need a new test.


Does anyone here know of a simple test I could use as a minor psychological evaluation of a person that can be administered and interpreted by someone with no medical or psychological education? Does anyone know anything else I should know/consider/also test for with this?

I can't recommend any tests...
But whatever psychological tests you're doing, you should, I think, make sure to get the subject's written approval. I think they're quite stringent about that, do not evaluate people's psyche without their permission. And I really wouldn't go anywhere near the more invasive tests, nothing that could tell you about their emotional state. Memory tests, maybe.
But I know very little of psychology, the content of this post pretty much consists of stuff I heard from friends who actually studied the subject.

I have written consent from all test subjects and their parents for these evaluations. They are also not going to be displayed by name, but by a subject number that I will assign to each participant at the start of the study. Unless they figure out on their own, even they won't know what number they are.
