That test is fine and all but we are really doing one thing at a time in a way. I mean when you type are you doing one thing per key on your keyboard, there are a lot of keys but not each one is "one thing".
Its all "muscle memory", if you do a sequence of events 100,000 times you don't forget anything. If this sequence is considered one thing or 100 things its no matter.
You have set up muscles and a part of the brain to do it automatacllly you dont use your frontal cortex to analize what you are doing. Like typeing you don't analize anything to firgure out the next key to hit. Same with breathing you don't stop and think is it time to take another breath. You breath and type at the same time perfectly is that multi tasking? And add a third task you wont make errors breathing duh ....
His test deal with tasks you have never done before and have no muscle memory of, and he is probably right that you do poorly. Do his test 1000 times and then see what happens when you add in the third task .....
