Attention & Control — InteractiveDots move, arrows flip their rule mid-stream — this test watches how well you keep watching.
An attention test built from animation rather than questions: track cued dots among identical moving distractors, count several targets at once, hold a target through a longer round, and respond to arrow streams whose rule flips between centre and outer. Two competencies banded and interpreted, every round reviewed.
Attention is measured by tracking, not by asking about it
Fourteen of the 18 items are motion-tracking rounds. A few dots are cued, then they and their identical neighbours start moving; when the show stops you point to the ones you followed or report how many targets crossed a line. Some rounds cue a single dot, others several, and the sustained rounds run longer so that lapses in vigilance show up. The remaining four items are conflict-arrow streams: a row of arrows appears and you respond to the centre one — until the rule flips and the outer arrows become the target. About 17 minutes of real work, 19 on the clock.
Every animation is deterministic: the same item always plays the same show, so two candidates who sit the same item see identical motion and can be compared fairly. Scoring is exact or partial count accuracy for multi-target rounds, correct identification for tracking rounds and stream accuracy for the arrow items. The rounds adapt classic multiple-object tracking and conflict paradigms from the attention literature without copying any commercial instrument. Your per-response latency is recorded, but it is not scored, so a careful correct answer counts as much as a fast one.
The report separates Attention & Tracking from Cognitive Control and bands each one, so you can see whether you lose targets in the crowd or lose the rule when it flips — two different problems with different remedies. An AI-written narrative draws on your own round-by-round record, strengths and development areas are named, and a growth plan is built from the weaker competency. The item review lets you revisit each round and see where your count diverged.
What you walk away with
Attention & Tracking and Cognitive Control each get a banded bar and an interpretation written for that band. Losing dots in a crowd and misapplying a flipped rule are different weaknesses, and the report keeps them distinct rather than folding them into one attention score.
One 0–100 score placed in Emerging, Developing, Strong or Exceptional, generated from your accuracy across all 18 rounds. There is no pass mark; the band tells you where you sit against the standard the items set, and the narrative explains why.
Each tracking round and arrow stream is listed with your response and the correct one, so you can see whether errors came early or late in a round, in single-target or multi-target shows, or only after the rule flipped.
The growth plan is built from whichever competency scored lower. If sustained tracking was your gap, the plan speaks to vigilance and pacing; if conflict streams were, it speaks to rule-holding under interference — concrete rather than generic.

Every competency this test declares, scored from the items tagged to it — so the shape is yours, not a template.
One number, one band, and a two-sentence summary of what the band means for you — then the breakdown that explains it.
Built for
- Applicants for monitoring, dispatch, security-operations and control-room roles where attention lapses are costly
- Air, rail, fleet and logistics recruiters screening for sustained tracking under distraction
- Data-entry, QA and reconciliation hires whose work depends on holding a rule while the surroundings change
- Individuals curious whether they lose focus in the crowd or lose the rule when it changes
A lapse of attention rarely announces itself. This test makes it visible.
About 17 minutes of moving dots and flipping arrows, with both competencies banded the moment you finish.

Frequently asked questions
It is an 18-item test in which dots move on screen and arrow streams change their rule. You track cued dots among identical distractors, count multiple targets, hold a target through longer rounds and respond to conflict arrows whose target flips between centre and outer. It scores Attention & Tracking and Cognitive Control. It suits monitoring, dispatch, logistics and QA roles, and anyone who wants their concentration measured rather than described.
Multi-target rounds are scored on exact or partial count accuracy, tracking rounds on whether you identified the right dots, and arrow streams on the proportion of correct responses. Accuracy is what counts; your response times are recorded but not scored, so a careful correct response is worth as much as a fast one. Every animation is deterministic, meaning the same item always plays the same show for every candidate.
The clock allows 19 minutes; most people finish in about 17. Straight away you receive an overall 0–100 score with its band, two banded competency scores with coaching interpretations, a narrative generated from your own round-by-round record, strengths and development areas, a prioritised growth plan and a review of every round. Everything is included in the price — there is nothing further to unlock.
Hiring teams use the two banded competencies to distinguish a candidate who loses targets in a crowd from one who loses the rule when it flips — relevant in different roles. Candidates take the growth plan into their preparation and, having practised, can sit the test again to compare bands. The round-by-round review supports a specific interview conversation about how the candidate concentrates under distraction.
Yes. The rounds contain no language beyond short instructions and no cultural content, so the same items and scoring standard apply in any country. It runs in a browser on a laptop, tablet or phone and needs no download. The assessment is priced in INR and USD, and the live price appears on this page. Sound is not required.
The interactive series replaces multiple-choice with timed, hands-on formats — drag, sort, respond, remember — so speed and accuracy are measured directly rather than inferred. Each is an original item set, scored per competency and reported with a banded profile and a growth plan.

Scoring is exact/partial count accuracy, target identification, and stream accuracy; per-position latency is recorded for future switch-cost analysis, not scored. Motion is deterministic per item (same item, same show). Not affiliated with any third-party instrument.
