Stress Test / Optical Illusion

Stare at these pictures for a few seconds (you may need to click on them to enlarge to full size for the proper effect)

Are the patterns moving?

Or are they perfectly still?













































The patterns are used to test the level of stress a person can handle.

The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress.

Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly.

However, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.

None of these images are animated.

For me the rate of movement is: middle one, then the first, then the last. But thank goodness none are moving very fast. And even more thankfully, none are standing still!

They all seem to be moving slowly for me. I wonder if I had taken the test last year while going through my wifes illness if they would have been moving faster? I'm just now starting to feel my old self again.

I think if I saw them whizzing around I'd be afraid!!!!

Fusion, keep on feeling yourself, but when someone comes along let them do it for you ;)

LOL!
The first one didn't move at all for me, but the rest moved very, very slowly.

That was fun :)

Thanks, Fi

Fusion said...

LOL, You can bet on that Fiona!

Slow movement for me on all of them. I guess I haven't lost it after all - but then again, that would imply that I actually had it in the first place... ;-)

All slow thankfully, though last moved a tiny bit faster for me...wondering.

Do you use these in your interviewing?

Fun!

Mine were spinning madly ;)

Just kidding!

The first two were moving pretty slow.

The last one was moving slow but faster than the first two.

Pretty interesting!

Sally....damn you sure are chilling!!!

LOL Matt, that would be a point to ponder ;)

Sunny, not a bad idea...should I use these instead of the old tripping and spilling a glass of water all over the candidate routine *L* KIDDING!!!!

Hi Oblivion...you had me going for a minute there woman *L*

Wow...these all moved pretty fast for me. O_O
Not like, super fast. But the speed took me by surprise when I first looked at them.
3rd or 1st is fastest, middle is slowest.

Wow! I'm really impressed with this stress test and I've found out that I'm kinda great in handling different stresses in life because the pictures were moving slowly. But even though that's the case, I still don't want to stress myself too much especially my eyes. So regularly, I got to some optometrists in Indianapolis and seek for some tips on how I can take care of my eyes. Optometrists (Indianapolis are definitely great and trusted when it comes to taking care of their client's eyes.

I saw them actually moving very fast and randomly they would change direction. That doesn't sound very normal.

The First One Moved really slow and the middle one was weird. it started moving one way, then changed and confused my eyes. The last one moved real fast. this must not be real! they all went at diff. speeds...so idk
