Global Mind Tests

Filtering Task

Visual filtering and selective attention. Find the subtly different target among distracting circles.

Filtering Task

Click the target (a polygon slightly different from a circle). Distractors are circles of the same color. The task lasts 30 seconds. After each click, the layout changes.

Difficulty
Time: 30.0s Hits: 0 Misses: 0 Points: โ€”

Press Start. Then click the target as fast as you can.

What is different across difficulty levels?

Easy uses fewer distractors and a clearer target. Normal adds more distractors and a more circle-like target. Hard increases clutter further and adds slow motion, which makes filtering and tracking harder.

How the task works

  • Duration: 30 seconds per run
  • Distractors: circles with varied opacity
  • Target: polygon similar to a circle (6/7/8 sides)
  • Score: points based mostly on hits, adjusted by speed and accuracy

FAQ

Why do I sometimes click the wrong item?

At higher difficulty the target is more circle-like. Use a brief confirmation glance before you click.

Why can results differ between phone and PC?

Input latency, screen size, and pointer precision affect both speed and accuracy.

Should I prioritize speed or accuracy?

Hits drive points the most, but misses reduce your score. Aim for clean hits first, then push speed.
