What this attention span measures
This attention span test estimates self-reported attention span habits patterns across four domains. Twenty-two original frequency items group into focus duration, distractibility, task switching, reading stamina. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your attention span index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed attention span habits on this screener.
