Subreddit/faq suggestions: A list of cognitive tests so we can start to verify (measurable) Nootropic effects

Hi Guys,
I recently started taking a few Nootropics (L-Theanine, Choline & Aniracetam stack) and have been sitting around all week wondering if the substances are working or not, if I feel smarter, how much i have achieved today, or if its a placebo etc..
The only way to really pick up if the drugs are making us smarter is if we have a set of tests we can do too see if we are getting measurable results.
Another benefit is if we get a /r/nootropics standard test suite in the faq, which has a few dimensions (e.g. alertness/problemsolving/memory), then we could see posts like:
Last week I scored a a45/p67/m55, but this week I'm a a50/p70/m90, so I am getting some memory improvement, but not much else.
I think this would greatly benefit the community. Anyone have any thoughts? On the second note: what kind of tests could we do?
Memory test: ?
Cognitive test : ?
Creativity test: ?
Computational test: ?
Either way, if anyone has some tests they could post that I could use for my own research, help would be much appreciated :)
