This is one of the games bookmarked in my facebook profile also from Playfish. The goal of the game is to test your “brain size” with mini-games that are designed to test different areas of the brain. Four types: Analytical, Calculation, Memory and Visual Processing. All the mini-games are under time-limit.
Analytical
There are two possible mini-games in this category for the free version, the scales and the blocks.

The scales start out simple enough, where you have to identify which object is the heaviest in a group. It gets a bit difficult when it progresses to multiple scales. A quick tip is to scan which object is on the bottom of the scale and not repeated on any scale on where it is on top, chances are that is the heaviest object. In the example above, the heaviest would be the fries.

The other mini-game is my favorite because it just involves counting. Counting blocks that is. You have to breeze through the easy levels so that you’ll score big points when you’re counting 15 blocks or more.
Calculation

No big tricks here. Just how fast your brain can calculate mathematical processes.
Memory

Use basic memory techniques in this category. Both mini-games involves identifying shapes in pairs and in order. I personally like to call the shapes out loud or the colors so that I can remember them easily.
Visual Processing

First up is the asteroids mini-game. The object is to remove them from the least value to the greatest value. It’s pretty simple to do this one: All you need to do is create groups in your mind. Then click as fast as you can.

The other mini-game is simple enough, just complete the puzzle using the puzzle pieces provided.

At the end of the tests, this visual graph will show how well you’ve done and you’ll see an animation of what your brain size is.
----------------------
From my experience, it all really comes down on how fast your brain can process data. It took a lot of practice before I got to the level of squidlian. As an added bonus, there are also trophies you can gather if you accomplish certain requirement for each award. You can also see your rating among your friends.

This is my profile.

My rank among my friends…see I’m only no. 7.

These are only the trophies I got so far. I need more practice.

That should have been generated automatically or they could be having glitches in their system. Have you tried contacting the developers about it?
