Do You Have ADHD? Here's A Test

"If you can only make one or two of the spots vanish, then you're probably easily distracted and find it hard to focus your attention for long," Prof. AMX said.
"If you can make them all vanish then you probably have a normal attention span.
"And if you can make them all vanish for five to ten seconds, which by the way less than one per cent of people can do, then you likely have an extraordinary attention span."
He also suggests if you can't make the dots disappear for long then you might have ADHD, given that difficulty concentrating on tasks is a known symptom - though such a claim should be cautioned, as it's not a scientifically proven test for the condition.
So what are your results?

They all disappeared for a split second but then my eyes felt all messed up. I tried again, and all the yellow dots flashed purple for a second. Aftefer that I was way too aware of what I was trying to do and couldn’t do it again.
My son does have ADHD. I will have to see what he says. I think my results are more about my vision and sensitive eyes than it is about concentration.

I agree. It's not necessarily about having ADHD or not. It's a silly "test" that has no bearing on anything.

Fun, but pointless to my way of thinking. I definitely have ADHD, but a game like this is one sure fire way to get my attention and focus. Had no problem making all three disappear for 3-4 seconds.

I think I'll stick to the clinical diagnostic approach

*Gasp* After trying that test, in those short seconds, I was thinking it was a hologram... Went by so quickly, didn't know what happened!

So what happened? How many dots disappeared?
I can make it like 1-3 seconds of the dots disappearing. When I blink my eyes, the dots reappear.
