dots surrounding it that will disappear in various ways depending on your attention span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They should gradually fade from your consciousness one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you allow your gaze to wander, the effect will be broken and the dots will reappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If you can only make one or two of the spots disappear, you&#8217;re probably easily distracted and find it difficult to concentrate.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also suggests that if you can&#8217;t make the dots disappear for a long time, you might have ADHD, as difficulty concentrating on tasks is a known symptom &#8211; though such a claim should be taken with a grain of salt, as it&#8217;s not a scientifically proven test for the
