cota kid Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 So does that mean your more likely to run over a bear or a cyclist when your counting passes in a basket ball game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 If any of you have seen Derren Brown live you will realise that this is one of his type of observation tests. Another one is the ping pong doubles team that turn into gorillas. What it's used for is not to highlight your powers of observation or your ability to spot misdirection, but your ability to focus on the task. I'll not bore you with the psychology behind it but if you laughed out loud when the gorillas/bears appear(as I did) then you are 'generally':- Easily bored. Have the attention span of a small child. Have an inability to concentrate or focus. Lack determination/ willpower. Far too willing to accept a compromise. Will under achieve in most aspects of you life (job,relationships etc..)..... ...And so the character assassination went on ..and how the audience laughed at my expense. .. when I was singled out. On the plus side he said he couldn't ''work'' with me as it would take too long to hypnotise me and it was 'unlikely' that anyone would ever sneak up on me .
