An Optic illusion discloses how easily you can be distracted.

According to TikToker Prof. AMX, only one percent of us can focus on a flashing dot for long enough to be classified as having an “extraordinary attention span.”

The video requires you to fix your gaze on a dot in the centre of the screen.

There are three yellow dots surrounding it that will disappear in various ways depending on your attention span.

They should gradually fade from your consciousness one by one.

However, if you allow your gaze to wander, the effect will be broken and the dots will reappear.

“If you can only make one or two of the spots disappear, you’re probably easily distracted and find it difficult to concentrate.”

“And if you can make them all disappear for five to ten seconds, which less than 1% of people can do, you probably have an extraordinary attention span.”

He also suggests that if you can’t make the dots disappear for a long time, you might have ADHD, as difficulty concentrating on tasks is a known symptom – though such a claim should be taken with a grain of salt, as it’s not a scientifically proven test for the condition.
