Search drawn arrays where similarity does the work
Count, locate, and identify targets in twenty drawn arrays of 15 to 45 figures where every distractor shares the target's shape or its fill. Untimed, and accuracy only.

What this assessment measures
This route draws an array of up to forty-five small figures and asks you to count a target, to say which numbered row holds the only one, or to say which of four figures appears exactly once. Every distractor shares exactly one of the target's two attributes—its shape or its fill, never both—so no single feature picks the target out. The result is accuracy by task, with no timing and no comparison with other people.

Original MyTestAtlas task generator
Without a clock this route cannot measure attention, search speed, or reaction time, and it is not a clinical attention test—the timed tasks in the attention hub are built for that and report device-local figures. It cannot be answered from the text alternatives either: they say what each array is made of and deliberately not how many of anything it holds or where.

Why this route is different
What a timed search measures is search rate, and this site does not make timing claims outside the tasks built for them. What it measures instead is search difficulty, which a generator sets exactly: fifteen figures with one kind of near-twin is a different item from forty-five with four, and both sit on the page for as long as you want them. That is a real difference between items even when the clock is off, and a five-glyph line of characters had none.
A small next step
On a missed array, name the target's two features out loud and sweep row by row holding both, instead of scanning for the shape and then checking the fill.
Questions people ask
Is this test timed?
No, and for a visual search task that is a real limitation. Searching is normally studied through how long it takes to find a target, and this route scores only whether you found it. Treat it as a careful-looking task rather than as a measure of how fast you scan.
What do the twenty items ask?
Three kinds: counting how many of a shape appear among similar ones, locating a target in a field of distractors, and spotting the figure that appears only once. Accuracy is reported for the three separately.
Why is there no percentile or comparison with other people?
This site prints no population percentile on any route. There is no norm sample for these items, and screen size and display quality differ enough between devices that a ranking across them would mean very little. Your score is measured against what these twenty items can award, and it is not an IQ or a measure of intelligence.
Does this say anything about my attention?
Not reliably. Twenty untimed multiple-choice items cannot separate attention from eyesight, screen size, or simply how much care you took, and nothing on this site diagnoses anything. If attention is causing you real difficulty, that is a conversation with a professional rather than a result from a web page.
