TestMyBrain Multiple Object Tracking
Determine your visual tracking
Keeping track of several moving objects at once — cars in traffic, or players on a pitch — requires dividing your visual attention between them while they move. Multiple object tracking, introduced by Zenon Pylyshyn and Ron Storm in 1988, measures this ability.
In this TestMyBrain test, some dots briefly turn green, then all the dots move around, and afterwards you select the dots that were green. Put simply, it measures how many moving things you can follow at the same time.
On the following pages, you can determine your visual tracking by completing a short task. It has to be completed in one sitting.
The results will be provided immediately after you have completed the final trial. Please note that the results you receive can only be reliable to the extent that you work attentively and without help.
This test is part of the validation study for the Quantitative Socionics Inventory. In case of any question, please write an e-mail (contact@quantitativesocionics.org) to the research team.
About this test
- Procedure
- Some dots briefly turn green, then all dots move for 5 seconds; afterwards select the dots that were green. Two practice trials, then six trials each with 3, 4, and 5 targets.
- Main outcome
- Proportion of target dots correctly identified.
- Also reported
- TestMyBrain score · Total response time (ms)
- Input
- Mouse or touch screen.
- Study
- Your answers are stored anonymously under the same private profile as the Quantitative Socionics Inventory, so that results can be compared across participants.
