The Question Is... Can You Handle Your Stress?

I wonder if there is any truth in this. It's interesting however... Especially since they're moving at a steady pace for me and I know I have been under a lot of stress lately. I guess I should be glad they are not spinning around madly, huh??? Feel free to comment and let me know what you see.


Stress...
The pictures below are said to be 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 - they are perfectly static.

  1. Very interesting! If I let my eyes go unfocused, they don't move at all, but if I try to focus on them, they move ever so slightly. On the middle one, the column to the left never moves, though the other two do. I wonder how I would've seen these yesterday when I was full to the brim with stress!

  2. Initially all three figures seemed to move slowly. Then I put on my glasses which I can't really wear while I read or work on the computer. Lo and behold, that stopped the movement even when I took the glasses back off.

  3. How am I supposed to write a comment with those things spinning out of control like that?

    The pictures seem to move faster as your eyes move. I wonder if convicts have that nervous tension that makes them look around the picture rather than directly at the picture.

  7. It seemed like the flowers moved the slowest for me. Very interesting. I would like to see what would happen if I showed my three year old that.
