» 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 and like a brain exercise. 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!) th-cam.com/video/8Z7GOUV8pV4/w-d-xo.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 TH-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
@@RocketShipSquid Lol no I didn't want to do that

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 💀

my attention span for a green circle that brought some distractions: literally excellent

Focusing on the number is not focusing on the circle. That means you got distracted
@@mustaphaaaji3 what’s your opinion worth?
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))

i saw the purple circle too it only lasted a little and then it turned really faint

Bro could've jumpscared us so badly, but he didn't
He's too good

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 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
I was so afraid that there would be a jumpscare at the end of it

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

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.
Same
I was watching this without even thinking about that! I was so vulnerable.
I was going to be so mad if there was a jump scare glad they didn’t do one
Same at first I looked at the comments to make sure glad to know it isn’t one lol-
I started to get that but as soon as I saw it I blinkednit away before it became a proboem

I was holding up so well and then the dinosaur of doom got me
Lol what a name for it
Dinosaur of doom
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 💀
Watching chess tutorials also work
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
@@ReiKenshiShorts wow indeed
I think it's because the opposite of green is purple on the color wheel
@@Playing096Maybe 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
My reward for completing this is to rewatch and now look anywhere I want.

You can actually blink without looking away

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
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.

That god damn Dinosaur
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!

@@grenadaball7655You didn't had to scare him like that 💀
So I just wasted 3 minutes to prove my attention span isn‘t completely down
As someone with ADHD, this was probably the longest 3 minutes of my life
Same lol-

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 😨
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.
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
1:42 in a dark room hits different
It made me extremely uncomfortable
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
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!
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
2:11 I think we all lost here lmao
bro popped outta nowhere
Agreed
Yep.
Definitely me
The thing is, i thought it will be a jumpscare
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 TH-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.
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
I lost immediately cause I checked the comments as soon as I clicked the video to see if anything bad happened if I looked at a circle for 3 minutes.
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
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
same bruh
Idk how the dinosaur did the same to me aswell lol
I lost at 00:09 seconds with the
“you shouldn’t be looking here”
Not sure why, but I was waiting to get jump scared and the wait was killing me lmao
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
Came for the concentration test, stayed for the beautiful videos in between
They're very beautiful aren't they lol
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.
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
As someone using their peripheral vision, I see this as an absolute win.

Lol kinda!
I had to check the comments at around 133. I was scarred for life by jump scares as a kid and don’t trust any videos that make me focus on something anymore
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!
Write that down! Write that down!
Anybody else see the purple circle when the video was over?
Haha only for a little bit
the afterimage effect
Yea i did see
👍
I saw it for a solid 3-4 seconds before it went away fully, it was there for a while
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.
Lord knows it took everything in my soul not to look at that dinosaur circling the block.
This was an amazing experience, not only did I not gaze away from the counting down green timer dot, but I could see everything unfold before my eyes through my peripheral vision, and it was simply beautiful. The random shapes at the start, the beach, the dinosaurs, nature, the expanding of colors... I smiled throughout the whole video.
I might try the 10 minute vid one day, until then, keep making these, they're awesome!
Oh and do a horror version, I'd definitely test my attention span with it.
Thanks and that's cool! A horror version sounds interesting lol
@@gletchbus That's what I'm afraid of.
What do u mean counting down? I literally only see the numbers for a brief moment when i pause the video and the pause icon pops up for a moment. Is this a problem? People keep saying i focused on the numbers i literally do not see the numbers just the big green circle
@@jckipaprUh, yeah, there are 180 of them. You should take a colorblind test.

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
what text

It's okay thank you for trying
God, do you see the radiant light?
Do you hear the beautiful chant?
Do you feel the tender warmth?
Nothing here.
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
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 :)
The ultimate way to get people to watch until the end.
I love how I can barely pay attention to literally anything but staring at this stupid green circle was so easy to easy to the point where I was questioning what I was looking at and what was my side(I forgot what its called)vision and now have a green circle forever in the middle of my eyes

Yes same! ~
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!!!!
I've never struggled so much in my life
Were you able to pass?
Hardest thing in my life I've ever had to do, I looked at the dinosaur for like a second, then instantly looked at the dot, crazy.
I didnt look out once but those dinosaurs felt like a virtual tickle from the corner of my eye
Virtual tickle 😂😂
As a person who can see the all of the screen with his eyes I can confirm my attention span is really good.
🤪
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 TH-cam is also recommending this video to others so that probably means they care less
the fact my eyes were screaming to focus on everything but the dot
This would be impossible for TikTok users
I hope it can help them though!
0:17 I have adhd
Thank you for trying the test
Is that you Richard??
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
@@gletchbus Thank you! You too!
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.
Ngl, i thought there was going to be a jumpscare, so i looked away at 73 seconds left
in trying (and failing) to complete this test I got side tracked from my actual goal. this is great
The damn dinosaurs were to much for me
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 urge to look away before it even tried to distract me is marginally concerning
Good test! I saved it in a special playlist to watch it every week
Awesome thanks! :) There is also a harder 10 minute version if you'd like to try it!
@@gletchbus yeah why not
First try, too easy. Just focus on the number going down. As I did that, I was able to pay attention to the background and observe it, without taking my focus away from the circle
Lol nice, I have a short meme edition of this too which might be harder :P
i think i may have cheated as i was eating yoghurt so most of my focus was on blindly scraping out all of it and guessing how much was left and where judging by how much i could feel on the spoon in my mouth, i just made sure to focus on the green dot
Nah that just shows you can multitask very well 😂
Every time I blink, I now see *it* ...
This man knows how to get watch time out of us.
It's not for that reason :P
@@gletchbus Just kidding. But it's at least 10% of the reason.
lies@@gletchbus
I managed to keep looking until my mind started distorting everything.
When the water came the circle was looking like an octagon, at around 80 it started becoming grey, and when the circle stretched, it seemed to lose color again
Yea, when the circle became bigger that it was like two circles on top of each other. A bigger, brighter green one below and a smaller duller, more muted green one on top
Dang that's actually something I haven't seen anyone say before
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
I started blinking by the number going down and made a little song while looking out of my focus on the stuff happening around,until the funny dinosaur got me man... The little dino got me...
I just counted with the timer, helped quite a bit with focusing.
That's definitely a good strategy!

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.
