» MEME EDITION: • How Good Is Your Atten...
This video is an attention span test and determines how long you can focus/concentrate on the green circle, similar to a selective attention test. It consists of various (but simple) experiments, including a banana(?), 2D dinosaur, etc. I decided not to include many memes in this one because I made a separate "MEME EDITION"! Some parts felt like an optical illusion because of the way our eyes work! Or something like that… The average human attention span is about 8.25 seconds. Maybe this video can help for "how to fix" your attention span!

Here is the "HARD MODE" version of this video (10 minutes long!) ua-cam.com/video/8Z7GOUV8pV4/v-deo.html
***I also want to mention some things I've seen in the comments:***
- The "purple circle" 🟣 that people see after the test will go away shortly after you finish, just wait a little bit and probably don't look at any screens either lol
- I didn't make this video as a watch time scam or anything like that (bruh 😆). This is an actual test I made to help people (maybe) and just for fun. When I first uploaded this video, some people said it was too easy, so I made the 10 minute version. I didn't purposely make the video "easy" just so people would watch the whole thing lol. A lot of people stopped before the test ended, especially at the dinosaurs! Also, it depends on how you found this video; If you wanted to do an attention span test, you are probably more determined to finish it. But if UA-cam recommended it to you, it's less likely that you care, and that's why some people say the test is boring, a waste of time, farming watch hours, etc. But many other people said it's also helpful, interesting, relaxing, funny, etc. Just wanted to clear that up and don't forget that this isn't the only video I've uploaded on the channel! 😝
- You can (and should) blink! Don't ruin your eyes if they hurt 😅
- Don't worry about any jump scares, there aren't any in either video ;)
- Some people also said I should've put "hot bikini girls" in the background so people would look away... xP
You should've put a jumpscare half way in.
Missed opportunity
What dinosaur?
im good
@@RocketShipSquidi thought there was gonna be a jump scare

Focus on numbers ✅
Bro my eyes feels like burning.
LOL. That is What I did.
Exactly

I literally clicked away from the video, clicked back, put it into loop, locked screen, put this into miniplayer while going to safari, paused at every message, scrolled through the comments, and wrote this comment within the first 120 💀
this is not a test of attention span. it is a test of temptation avoidance and boredom procrastination
🤓
Exactly. As a psychologist i can confirm this
Knew this. Haha, i wondered how i with adhd could do this.
Realest comment
Bro that is the fakest attention span tes i have seen
The terror I experienced when I looked away at the end and saw a purple circle in my vision was indescribable.
THANK GOD I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED IT, I GENUINELY THOUGHT THAT MY EYES ARE NOW RUINED LOL
For my it started at the elephants thing (i didn't look away, I noticed it in my (idk what the word is called))
Peripherals
my attention span in class: terrible
my attention span for a green circle that brought some distractions: literally excellent
Bro my eyes were twitching so bad with my ADD self 💀
😂
I think that you just don’t have a passion for learning, which is perfectly normal =>
@@PrettyAverageArtistwait it's normal?
@@CyberSH0GUN_ Yeah sometimes people don’t really find find a use for the things taught in school, so when teachers mention hobbies like art and such children normally don’t think much about it and focus on having fun
This was actually surprisingly easy, unless noticing things with peripheral vision and recognising them counts as a loss.
Nah as long as you didn't look away. You should try the harder 10 minute version!
@@gletchbus there is a longer version? great, because this one felt like it was 30 seconds long
same thing for me haha
Bro i love terraria
@@gletchbus Please can you do a 10 hour version? I'd love to do that one
2:19 Those dang dinosaurs! i was doing so good, too, but something about that unidentifiable shape in my peripheral snatched my focus away for a split second!
It was cool to see the color in the scenes in the background fade away to black and white when focusing on the dot, but magically return when I shifted my focus to look at the meerkats
What got me werw the waves lmao
Same the dino got me
same for me too
I couldn't watch this without music, ASMR, subway surfers and family guy in a separate window, browsing on my phone, and getting a foot rub
I did not exactly focus on the circle, i focused on the numbers, i counted the numbers one by one inside my mind and promised it that it would all be worth it.
Yeah focusing on the numbers is the key!
Same
e too
Focusing on the number is not focusing on the circle. That means you got distracted
@@mustaphaaaji3 what’s your opinion worth?
As someone who didn’t look away I’m proud to say that I have a purple dot permanently burned into my retinas
This color has a name by the way. I don't remember it though
Bro same.
Help how does it go away😢

@@grenadaball7655You didn't had to scare him like that 💀
I clicked on the video with the confidence that I’d get through it no problem…
*The first bit of text that appeared in the top left corner when the screen went white got me* 😭
Same I thought I was going to do good and then the diamonds appeared and I immediately looked away.. 😭
Lost before it
Same I looked at the instructions at the very start just before it turned white I gave up after
damn did u just make us watch your 180 sec video without us even realizing
this has to be the best marketing strategy I've seen so far just put your ads in background in a creative way and bam!
I was so afraid that there would be a jumpscare at the end of it
SAME
I started bracing myself as it counted down.
yea and in the old days of youtube that would be a legitimate concern, you young ones have no idea, I still have PTSD from it
@@DrSaav-my5ym comment jumpscare
Same.
The difference is, in real life, your attention span jumps around as it likes which is why sometimes it’d very short. If your mind doesn’t deem it important, it won’t care.
Here, your brain wants to pay attention to the dot just to prove that it can. It’s much easier to stay focused.
this is a very good point, factual
@@nilsber.seconded
This is why people, some with adhd conditions, find real benefit and have success with the “game-ify your life” approach- “how much can i do in 30 minutes only?” rather than “i must do this until it’s done” or, “I’m not good at this thing, but, I will reward myself for getting started and i’ll also make it interesting with decorations that make me happy” and such. (Might not be the best explanation of the concept but…)…
People thrive on challenge, of the particular mix of brain chemicals and reward circuits.
You probably know this anyway ☺️
not for me it wasn't
for me this could count as torture.
I agree but people might get "bored" from this video to the point where their mind wants to jump around
this was the most entertaining thing in my entire life, thank you
Sheesh, the dinosaur one got me 💀
😂 It's kinda cute
same
I was holding up so well and then the dinosaur of doom got me
Lol what a name for it
Dinosaur of doom
"dont look away"
my brain for some reason: "WE CANT BLINK... MY EYES BURN"

You can actually blink without looking away
Same
@@gabri1650they know that
Me : "I look at the circle with one eye, and the distractions with the other eye, so i technically won and lost at the sane time"
*MISSION FAILED SUCESSFULLY*
lol
This was actually so relaxing. I was focusing on the numbers so hard I forgot about life for a moment if ykwim. Like all my worries were at the back of my mind lol. It felt nice. And the waves and music in the background also helped me calm down. Thank you 😊
For me, it was nothing. They need to actually last this thing for an hour to see how strong I am. I can focus on something for 5 minutes without blinking.
@@onlychess842if you're not blinking for 5 minutes you're wednesday or somethin because that is NOT normal bro
@@happy_girl93 You might be correct, although I have located other individuals of similar status who have been able to accomplish similar feats. I have managed to make someone actually tear up for it. I found my eyes were only just starting to burn by the time he did. In fact, I turn the brightness on my electronic screens to 100% all the time. Everyone else has it on 0% and I can't see a frickin thing.
@@onlychess842 That means that your eyes are worse during the night compared to others
Also check out HealthyGamerGG regarding the blinking thing, it's an exercise to control your own impulses and strengthen your frontal lobe and 5 mins is great
When you scroll past the video, but you have to prove to everyone that you have a good attention span (you’re the only one in the room)
Yeah so true 🤣🤣
Okay, ya caught me there
That’s exactly what I did
Thank you for not jump scaring
Haha yeah I wanted this to be an actual test
@@gletchbusbest UA-camr ever
@@craftysteve176 That's you :)
@@gletchbus not
@@gletchbus it’s you
Honestly, this test was insane. Never again.
I’m putting it in my shows and movies now so I can watch it when I’m bored.
excellent, we will get them next time!
(seriously though, the urge to look after 80 seconds had passed- then I realised wait a second, I can do this)
As a person who is currently trying to find a way to bore myself to sleep, I see this as an absolute win
Hope it can help 😂
Bro, it's 3am, i watched this hoping it would get me sleepy, but focusing just ended up making more conscious.
Ikr I’m awake it’s like 2 am I’m go now
guys this made me sleepy at 6 in the evening 💀
Fun fact: The blue after-image from staring at the green dot is a color you're not normally able to perceive, as it's simultaneous blue and darker than black.
Wait but its like magenta for me??
Same for me, magenta/purple ish.@@user-zl8mg3ll2j
whats it called? i think its my favorite color
@@sydosys It's called a "chimerical color"
@@user-zl8mg3ll2jYeah same!
Fantastic. I didn’t look away from the green dot, but now I'm left wondering how much of what my peripheral vision caught was video editing and how much was me tripping the frick out.
The ultimate way to get people to watch until the end.
Fun fact: after staring at the green circle for 3 minutes, something called an impossible color is seen when the screen goes black. In in this case, since the circle was a green color, the impossible color took on a purple look. If you want to know more, there are several people on youtube that can explain it better than me.
Wow
@@user-hg8yl7kz7w wow indeed
I think it's because the opposite of green is purple on the color wheel
@@surumu993Maybe but
when I look in the sky
the sky is white but when i look away my vision turns green
i thought it was called an imaginary color
Video: Focus on the circle. Me: *Relies on my peripheral vision to see everything that happens in the background while focusing on the dot at the same time*
no replies? lemme fix that
@@antirogue825 it was perfectly fine without replies
That's part of it too! 😂
I literally took a small nap while watching this. lol.
Thank goodness, I was afraid for a jumpscare. I focused on the numbers the whole time, and managed to pass the test, but GOSH IS IT UNCOMFY! It felt weird to just ignore everything, and now I have a purple circle floating around my vision.
As someone with ADHD, this was probably the longest 3 minutes of my life
Same lol-
adhd doesn't exist
SAME! I was waiting for this comment!
Nice that you passed!
Wait what
I don't even have adhd but I lost at the yellow text 😨
now I have a massive purple circle right in the center of my vision
This does not measure attention span, but rather your control over reflexive eye movents
It is normal and good for your eyes to shift focus to something noticable. This is how you keep yourself safe from unexpected threats.
If you wanted to measure attention span or distractibity, it should have ben just a black screen saying you couldn’t switch to another video, read comments, or anything else for the duration of the vid
In my own experience, my eyes were stuck with the circle and the numbers, I thought I lost it once the dinosaur appeared due to the many times I played Google offline game. In conclusion, my eyes were able to focus, but my mind was all over the place. Maybe that's why I enjoy reading. ;p
My eyes didn't look away but sometimes my attention turned into the things that appeared 😂
i got distracted by the blue dinosaurs I won’t even lie
Yes, and make the video 10 minutes long. That is the true test of a person's attention span. Laser focused on the video and nothing else.
After I finished the test, I rewatched the video to see everything that I could only see in my peripherals during the test-- and the silly little dinosaurs made me smile so much (they also almost made me fail the test but how could I be mad at their little faces?)
Nice, I managed to complete it. The thing is, many times I'm at classical orchestral concerts, and a few people around me start using their phones, and maybe even start sending messages. They can't even focus on the music sometimes.
Well, I won this test, I thought in the end I would be asked about the many distracting things which came into my way, and as they were in my peripheral I kept on memorising them slightly but did not move my pupil anywhere else apart from the dot. Now I am feeling hypnotized, lol!
Lol there were so many distractions that we could be talking forever about them! Great work though :), I made a 10 minute version too if you wanna try that!
nuh uh. i aint sitting looking at a green dot for 10 minutes@@gletchbus
@@orishavit2012guess your attention span is only 3 minutes then
I can focus on more things at once so i was watching the circle moventment couting the numbers and looking at background
@@orishavit2012 It's actually blue! And a lot more distractions :P
Dude the urge to look away was so strong that I started gaslighting myself that I looked away when I just saw it using peripheral vision.
Were you able to pass?
I caught myself trying to cut off whatever that blue and yellow thing was in its predictable path and stopped myself half way from the center. xD
Actually the scenes and things you added around green dot made it more interesting coz anyone can easily see it through peripheral vision. So this make it easy to keep attention on the dot. Rather you should made it without these distractions and then see who can focus at a green dot in a black screen at the same spot for several minutes. That would be a perfect attention test
i love watching this video after starting to study for a test as a distracted person i am this somehow helps me thank you 😭
This was the most relaxing, peaceful, and longest 3 minutes of my entire life. I actually enjoyed this, lol.
Lol nice!
As someone who really is a structured, predictable mom and teacher, focusing on the green dot was easy for me...what would be hard, is being asked to look away during that 3 minutes.
That's really interesting! You should try the 10 minute version as well
That would be a piece of cake for me
There were too much intresting things happening to the dot to look away. Though, i lost when the first dino appeared(around 55s left). Great job, but if i were trying to catch viewer attention elsewhere, i would simply add a tetris game at top left or something.
for some reason this relaxed me from my stress ive been having😭 but now wherever i look, i always see purple stuff now💀😭
I think the key to this is to simply ignore what comes in the background and not register it as important. Once I did that I made it to 3 minutes.
Yes definitely, you made it past all the "tricks"! :)
My idea was just to think about the circle and make up importance about it
That's an interesting strategy too!
The 'distractions' kind of made it easy. Could see the things in my peripherals and think on them as I watched the circle.
I feel like it'd be immensely harder with nothing but the circle.
And your music helps me focus on my tasks :D
A lot of other people also said this. I think the test would be more boring and kinda pointless lol without the background stuff, especially for a UA-cam video. At the same time, the dinosaur got so many people that maybe it was necessary 😅
@@gletchbusi think you should make a long one where it's purely the circle for about 5 minutes and then there's just a quick random graphic that appears after a while and disappears after a while and the video continues as normal. that would be the true test
I mean, if you CARED about looking the other stuff with your peripherals, then you failed. You only has to focus on the circle. Not any distraction.
I mean, if you CARED about looking the other stuff with your peripherals, then you failed. You only has to focus on the circle. Not any distraction.
As someone who could already see everything from the corner of my eye and has no reason to look away, I see this absolute win
I finished after staring at the numbers. This must be great for your analytics lol
I got to like 16 but staring at the circle for so long caused a purple reflection on the dot to appear in my eyes and that took my focus away, damn it
That's interesting that people see a purple dot
@@gletchbus It's actually science. Staring at a single color for a extended period of time causes the cones in our eyes responsible for detecting color to fatigue, which often causes the opposite of the color to appear in our eyes. Green's opposite is purple. So i was suffering because i was focusing on the dot TOO hard
Ah ok that's even more interesting!
Made it all the way through and it was purple for me too lmao
Haha I saw it too 😂😂😂😂 my eyes hurt from focusing lol
you can tell i grew up on the early internet- immediately got paranoid about a jumpscare and ran to the comments
Don't worry, you're safe here 😂
@@gletchbus lol much appreciated ღ
Dude i have like much better attention span than like pretty much everyone I know because I never had like a phone when I was younger and I never hop on it when im around friends because I just find it rude but like you really got me when you pulled out that blue t rex...
tbh, I was expecting one of those creepy zombie clowns to jump out at the last second... :)
I lost at 00:09 seconds with the
“you shouldn’t be looking here”
Even though i have very short attention span normally, I actually passed this pretty easily! Well, I basically focused on everything around the circle but without looking away, though. Still paid attention to the counter and the circle though!😅
that means you failed though cause your supposed to focus on the circle only and nothing else
Nice, you should try the 10 minute version now :)
You thought you won😂
@@gletchbusdude your like farming watch time
@@remaininglolbro what how???? that is literally impossible my brain is wired to know every single thing happening around me at once
Thanks for making this video now my eyes not only hurt but also sees a purple circle
I fully expected there to be a rickroll at the end
Im having trouble typing cause there will forever be a dark splotch engrained in my vision
That NEON GREEN DOT HAS GIVEN MY EYES TRAUMA
Oh my god.
So i now have a reddish hue burned into my retinas
Thats nice
Anyways, as a person with INTENSE ADHD, OH MY JESUS CHRIST THIS IS BRAIN BREAKING
Kudos to you! You hit all my weak spots! You legitimately broke my brain! While taking this test i was simultaneously keeping track of what my brain was doing in response to this whole thing. The whole time i was keeping myself focused on the numbers, and my brain was actually able to inspect everything else around it through my peripheral vision, and it was SO weird. I enjoyed it though! I honestly hate that my attention span only does its job when im focused on stupid shit, and not when I actually need it (THINGS LIKE SCHOOL)
I did actually decide to rewatch it and see what i was avoiding, just for funzies!
I genuinely had fun! I liked it, my eyes hated it, and i will be sending this to my friends!
Thanks for the detailed comment! If you would like to try it I made a 10 minute version as well :)
as a person with adhd too, i aprove this message and can confirm that it was exactly the same for me
if getting lost in thoughts and after coming back realizing that you're still looking at the circle counts then I passed with flying colors
Man that little dinosaur got me for half a millisecond 😂😂
I'm actually surprised that it gets so many people 😂
fire in the hole type pfp
SAME
good way to drive viewership and retention by posing a challenge to the ego involving focusing on the video to suggest that individuals have poor intention spans otherwise
Many have fallen where I now stand, mostly because every one else who completed the chalenge can't see through the big purple dot in vision.
Came for the concentration test, stayed for the beautiful videos in between
They're very beautiful aren't they lol
It's kinda eerie that, if you stare at the orb without looking away, it progressively starts to morph into a strange, fog shade of purple.
Then you realize it's just being burned into your eyes.
Read title, looks at the dot, swipes past...
Realises it, comes back and comments
Dude, what made this such a hard challenge is because I’m always that one person who likes talking to people but if the conversation stats to get boring I look away for a second and try to think of something to make the conversation go on just that tiny bit longer. I also love trying to find secrets in videos, so that doesn’t help. AND, I have some of the best vision in my family so that means I can look at the entire screen at once. Sooooooo, it was pretty hard, I would say maybe a 6-8 out of 10 for difficulty.
(Who would even read all of that?)
Bro, my eyes started burning and I blink every second and pay attention to the numbers to not lose focus
As someone using their peripheral vision, I see this as an absolute win.
Day 186 and I've finally reached 10 seconds of staring at the dot!🎉🎉🎉 This is a really hard challenge you've put together! 😂😂
As someone with ADHD, I found this very difficult.
After trying again over 15 times, I have given up and decided to do something more entertaining.
Good luck to all who attempt this challenge.
This feels like being hypnotized
Lol kinda!
Anybody else see the purple circle when the video was over?
Haha only for a little bit
the afterimage effect
Yea i did see
👍
It was a combination of focusing on the green dot and the numbers counting down. I'm happy I stayed focused.
Man thought my attention span was in the garbage but it was quite the opposite! I proved i can focus for 180 seconds!
That's great to hear! There is a 10 minute version if you'd like to try it as well :)
@@gletchbus oh boy then sign me up!
Haha let me know how you did
Its cause your brain actually makes an effort to make it through because you expect some sort of reward or a dopaminergic release
@@tiIebreaker It's always interesting to hear the scientific reasons haha :)
this was fun! my eyes did start drifting as my vision doubled, but I caught myself and ultimately I made it the whole way.
it feels like i can memorize a whole book rn
I Can't stop tearing😭
Thanks, there is now a section of my vision that has had a purple tint seared onto it.
the problem is that i not only have adhd, but also an extraordinary peri feral vision. i was basically seeing everything that happened outside of the circle in very high detail, making it very hard to not look away. but in the end i did it
Congratulations! :D
The fact that nothing in the video could distract me, rather it was the silly notification popup in the right bottom of the screen that got me!!!!
Well I was thinking: "Cant be too hard" But the first blue Dinosaur thing, circling the Circle had me, because I was looking to it for a brief second. Nice test btw.
What a good opportunity for a jumpscare and I swear if that had been the case, I would never trust this chanel ever again
This would be impossible for TikTok users
I hope it can help them though!
As a person who can see the all of the screen with his eyes I can confirm my attention span is really good.
🤪
My eyes hurt while looking at the green circle, idk why, maybe because I'm tired?-
So I instead decided to stare at a post-it that I stuck near by desk instead. I feel good knowing that I still haven't lost the power to focus.
Bro I was all good and fine and never looked away but then afterward I looked away and switched videos and I STILL SAW THE DAMNED CIRCLE
fact : the value of the video does in fact affect the audience's attention span
i actually watched sharpwind's 45 minutes long blender tutorial and i managed to pass all of those because i know that it is in fact worth watching
Definitely! If someone actively searched for this video, they're more likely to pass. I see that UA-cam is also recommending this video to others so that probably means they care less
2:11 that dinosaur got me unfortunately. I just looked away for a milisecond, but thats enough.
Same, though not 100% I survived before that
Same
perfect way to get public watch hours. I applaud you
amazing video but my eyes starting hurting so I get distracted by this XD
I didnt look out once but those dinosaurs felt like a virtual tickle from the corner of my eye
Virtual tickle 😂😂
there is a purple circle in my vision now the colors behind it look absolutely beautiful 🤩🤩
Yes same! ~
bruh i literally stopped focusing in the three first seconds because i saw some yellow writing at the top left corner
when i tried, i made it all the way through first try. but when i was just treating it like a normal video, i lasted until 176 second....
I've never struggled so much in my life
Were you able to pass?
The text at the start got me 💀 (I got to 175)
No way 😂😂😂...you should try it again haha
Lol me too
I got to 7 seconds left.

brain disorders: it's my time to shine
laziness: it's my time to shine
my poor attention span: you peasants, it's MY time to shine. ✨
the fact my eyes were screaming to focus on everything but the dot
I hope I am not the only one who forgets to blink and breath when highly focused...
Be careful!
yes, you arent the only one.
@@Kavyatej wow, okay that's good, now i don't feel like an alien anymore

I don't have those particular issues, but I forget to swallow when I'm focusing. Think about that... Even in my sleep I manage to do that most of the time. Not when I'm focused, though. EDIT: I think yours is more intense. Not trying to show you up. Lol.
Good test! I saved it in a special playlist to watch it every week
