6 of 6... This doesn't represent ADD. the pictures that flashed didn't affect my observance at all. This represents a poorly made IQ test story and questions.

@SorcerorSteve do you have ADD

[andrew7a]

I have inattentive type adhd and asperger's syndrome, I got the first 2 right. I guessed the first answer and remembered the number 47 but didnt know what it meant. I had to reread from the beginning after each picture to reprossess the information so couldnt get past the first paragraph. Also have digital photography as an obseesion and remembered seeing a line of sunflare in one of the pictures and was able to estimate the camera settings used :P

@SorcerorSteve Those pictures represent the distractions an ADHDer will experience when attempting to read a textbook and for fun even. For you, presumably, you can read a dry textbook and remember what you read, but an ADHDer will get distracted. That's just how it is. So those pictures are there to disrupt your (non-ADHDer) reading thus making the questions at the bottom difficult to answer, just it would be for an ADHDer reading/doing something he/she isn't interested in.

@ SorcerorSteve They get distracted. They try to read but then they notice someone playing outside, then they'll try reading again, but then their brains go off in different tangents. Try reading again, distracted by the doodles they made while reading. You tried and wanted to read the thing above, just like ADHDers, but you couldn't because the pictures, which you couldn't control, got in the way of reading, like what happens in an ADHDer's brain.

@SorcerorSteve Those pictures aren't there to distract you. I assume you don't have ADHD, so for you, reading that or a dry college textbook, depending on where you're at in life, wouldn't be a problem. You wouldn't want to do it and be bored doing so, but you'd be able to read whatever you needed to. For a person with ADHD, however, reading a dry textbook, and even reading for enjoyment, can be very difficult without medications. Just because of how they brains are
