I find this fascinating! Try this test and report back but don't tell the results.

I looked at the site for about 10 minutes.

I clicked on the link. It is HUGE. The first time, just trying to open it crashed my computer so bad I had to reboot.

The second time I tried, it promised *47* different blog entries to read - and most of them seemed to come with a video (I rarely watch videos - don't really like 'em). I could have been on there for HOURS. It seemed the purpose was to tell how to design an eye-catching webpage (a skill I don't need at the current second).

If you tell us what we are looking for, or which entry was particularly good, I imagine more of us will participate.

My computer wouldn't load the video.

It's the very first one - "Inattention Blindness Test". And yes, Tory, it IS a big load! : \

I saw the first video and it was interesting. But you said not to put the results, so what should I say? Lol.

I finally saw the video. It was very choppy - don't know if it was made that way, or if it was the speed of my connection (I tried a second time, and it didn't improve).

Will try to discuss here without defying the don't post results caveat (which I assume was so as not to ruin it for other viewers)

In any case, I never saw a single one of the large number of things in question - and even on second view, looking for it, had trouble seeing the inattention thing ( I think they cheated - it wasn't a *real* one of the things in question!)

But it's no surprise to me that I don't notice things. And it sure wouldn't be a surpise to my poor dh who has to live with that flaw.

Lol! My dh is always amazed by my nonobservance! I can drive by the same business for a year and then dh will say "Can you go by ____" and I'll say "Where is that at?" and he's like "You drive by it every day! How have you not noticed it?" Lol. Easy, I wasn't looking for it! Same thing if he drives us to the same place over and over and one day I need to drive there by myself. I will have to use the GPS and he says, "We've driven there 100 times!" and I say "Correction, YOU'VE driven us there 100 times. I haven't driven anywhere. If I didn't do the driving, it doesn't count. I have to actually do it myself to know where I'm going. Doesn't matter how much I pay attention" Drives him crazy!
