What are Schulte tables?
A Schulte table is a square grid (classically 5×5) with the numbers 1-25 scattered at random. The task is simple: find them in order, as fast as you can. The method was developed by the German psychiatrist Walter Schulte as a psychodiagnostic test of attention - and it is still used in research and clinical practice today.
Regular training exercises the selectivity and stability of attention, widens the useful field of view and teaches your eyes to work without chaotic jumping around the board. The average adult completes a 5×5 table in about 40 seconds - times below 25 seconds are considered very good.
And Gorbov-Schulte tables?
The red-black modification: black numbers ascending, red numbers descending, alternating. It measures and trains attention switching - which is why it was used in occupational aptitude testing for train drivers and operators. The app includes a full Gorbov mode.
