Frequently Asked Questions

What does this assessment measure?
It screens for reduced noticing of routine workplace details linked to fatigue, monotony, and burnout risk. It reflects how well the environment is perceived under habitual work conditions.
What is the task format?
Participants view a short series of typical work scenes and identify specific details that are easy to overlook. The set includes 10 items and is completed within 2 minutes.
How should participants respond?
Work quickly and select the best available response based on what is seen in each scene. Avoid revisiting items unless time remains.
How are results interpreted?
Higher performance indicates better detection of workplace details, while lower performance suggests possible perceptual narrowing from routine or fatigue. Results are screening indicators and should be considered alongside other information.
Who can use the results and for what purpose?
Results can support group-level monitoring of burnout indicators and guide follow-up discussions on work conditions and engagement. They may also inform individual evaluation when repeated in the context of broader assessment.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Test for occupational blindness

Change Blindness Test - Symptoms and Signs

This measure screens for visual attention to scene changes and missed details during brief viewing. The Change Blindness Test is administered as a brief, performance-based task in which respondents identify alterations across images.

It consists of 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Administration and interpretation should consider factors that can affect performance (e.g., situational distraction, visual acuity, and fatigue), and results are best integrated with other clinical or occupational data rather than used in isolation.

The Change Blindness Test has been referenced in the literature by Donald A. Norman. Scores are generally used to characterize change detection performance and to support discussions of attentional functioning in relevant contexts.
