Test your memory as you wander around
Look at a license plate on a car, memorize it, then go to the next car and memorize it. Can you repeat the first one? Can you do a third? How many can you do and repeat accurately?

That's a neat test!
I don't think I could manage that but it reminds me rather of a memory test within the "English Longitudinal Study of Ageing" surveys.
It consists of a recorded list of about twenty random words, then you are asked to recite those you can recall, several minutes' worth of other survey questions later; then again a bit later on.

@ArishMell Such a test would probably have said that I was older than I am now had I taken it in my twenties! I've always had a terrible memory.

@ArishMell Yes! From a practical point of view that's one of the worst things about being widowed because I always relied on my wife to remember people for me.
