How Sensitive Is Your OCD Radar? Pick The Red Dot That Is Different!
Have you ever felt the need to do something that you know is a little weird, but you have to do it regardless of how strange it may seem, because if you don’t then it’s all you can think about? Many people experience little quirks that pop up and they suddenly find themselves obsessing uncontrollably over them.
Take for example the urge to always check and see if the stove or lights are turned off or that a door is locked. Every once in awhile it’s normal to freak out because you don’t remember if you switched the oven off after dinner, but checking it multiple times a day, even when you haven’t used it to bake anything in awhile, is definitely not normal.
If you suspect that you might be a little too obsessive or compulsive about things, then you probably have some degree of OCD, aka Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. According to the Mayo Clinic, the clinical definition of OCD is when you have “unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions).”
People who fit the profile of having this mental disorder perform certain rituals and activities in specific ways that would seem odd to anyone else, but in their minds it makes complete and perfect sense. The most common reported compulsions include behaviors like repetitive hand washing, checking or counting things, cleaning, and an inability to throw stuff out.
The obsessions are often completely overwhelming and so strong that people feel like they absolutely must perform their rituals, and many easily end up spending an hour or more doing them every single day.
If this all sounds a little too familiar, then you may be among the estimated 2.3% of American adults who experience OCD in any given year. That comes out to about 3.3 million people whose lives get taken over and negatively affected by the need and urge to perform behaviors that they can’t seem to control.
Only a doctor can determine and diagnose you as having OCD or not, so if you suspect that you may have it, definitely consult your doctor. However, you can take this quiz to see what level your OCD is, if you even have it at all.
It examines how your brain and mind evaluate different scenarios and images of disorder to figure out what pleases or displeases you. These things can indicate whether or not a person has OCD so take it now and see what your results say!

Can You Actually See All The Colors? Find Out.
Exactly how well do you think you can actually see all of the colors under the sun? There’s only one way to find out and that is by having your vision tested. Even though a professional eye doctor is the most qualified person who can check your eyesight, you can always put your vision to the test at home. This quiz is a quick and easy way to determine how strong your color vision is so try it out and see how well you can see!
People are all over the map when it comes to visual abilities and many are affected by color blindness. In fact, around one in twelve men and one in 200 women display some degree of color blindness according to colourblindawareness.org.
Color blindness is not what it sounds like, rather than being complete and total blindness it’s actually a perceptive deficiency in ones color vision. The level of deficiency ranges from a complete inability to see colors, to problems seeing specific colors, to an overall decreased ability in differentiating between certain colors.
Most cases of colorblindness are genetic and so the majority of people are born with it. A smaller number of individuals acquire it later in life and potential causes typically include trauma or accidents that result in brain or retinal damage.
In addition, exposure to ultraviolet light, which can easily damage the retina, is also a common cause. When someone acquires color vision deficiency later in life and it isn’t attributed to trauma or UV light, then it could stem from a disease, drugs, chemical exposure, or age related macular degeneration.
As it turns out, you may have developed some form of color blindness and don’t even know it! This simple quiz will get you started and help you figure that out right here and now.
For each question all that you have to do is pick the one color that appears to be different from all of the rest. If you find this easy then you likely have no color vision issues, but if it’s difficult you should consider getting your eyes checked further by a professional eye doctor.

Choose An Eye And See What It Reveals About You
It has often been said that “the eyes are the windows to the soul” in that they can reveal all sorts of things about a person. Think about it, when you gaze into someone’s eyes you can tell if they are happy, upset, mad, sad, indifferent, or whatever emotions they may be feeling at the moment. Our eyes are capable of conveying unspoken messages and even if we try to hide certain things, our eyes can end up betraying us.
There are also many different types of eyes that extend beyond the physical ones on our bodies, from the evil eye to the third eye, the seeing eye, the invisible eye, and the mind’s eye. These concepts are all linked to our subconscious awareness and they’re believed to give us extra-sensory abilities that extend beyond what our ordinary eyes are capable of perceiving.
Depending on what you believe and how you view the world, the eyes can mean many things, and it all varies from person to person. They are part of what makes us unique and they affect how we perceive the world around us. They also play a major role in our decision making and the choices we choose can offer further insight into who we are deep down inside. As basic and simple as making choices may seem, the reasons behind them are more involved and complex than you’d imagine. Life experiences, our past, our preferences, emotions, and countless other variables come into play.
This short visual quiz combines eye types with the choice you make to explore and reveal things about you and your personality that you may or may not be aware of. Tests such as this one are specially designed to uncover aspects of a person’s character, so try it out! All that you need to do is pick the one eye image that you are most drawn to and that is most appealing. Have fun, enjoy, and see if you agree with what your eye choice says!

Can You Spot The Hidden Dog In This Picture?
There is more than what initially meets the eye to this simple black and white drawing of an old man wearing a hat. The illustration was created by Valentine Dubinin, a cartoonist and animator from Russia who works as a freelance artist. But before reading any further, take a good look at it and see if you are able to spot the dog that’s hidden within it!
Were you able to find the dog, or can you only see the old man? After staring at the picture for a few seconds and reading this, most people are able to make out both the man and the dog. If you still can’t decipher the dog, keep looking because it’s in there somewhere!
These images are called ambiguous figures, which are a type of optical illusion, and some people also refer to them as ‘illusory figures.’ Ambiguous images are pictures that take advantage of how we perceive and interpret things visually. They do so in such a way that the figure presented to us, like the old man, can be viewed multiple ways because they end up producing multiple images, i.e. the dog, each of which are correct.
It turns out that images like this one have intrigued researchers from across a number of different fields for well over the past hundred years. Scientists and psychologists cannot figure out how exactly they work, what part of our brain holds the key to understanding them, or why people can even switch between the two images in the first place. Some people cannot do the switch at all, they only see one thing or the other, which just adds more to the mystery surrounding them.
Pass this fun image on with friends and family and see if they are able to spot the hidden dog or not. If you’re interested in illusory figures and pictures like this one, there are many more out there for you to explore, so check them out and enjoy!

Give your eyes and brain a mental work out by testing your powers of perception with these seriously tough optical illusions. If you can’t believe what you’re seeing or get stumped by them it’s because you’re looking at a compilation of some of the top-most confusing and hard to distinguish ones out there.
Over the years they have managed to stump practically everyone who tries to figure them out and even the smartest brains have found them to be quite difficult.
Optical illusions are, by definition, images and sights which strongly disagree with physical reality. Our brains light up when we suddenly realize that not all is as it appears to be, and force us to pay extra attention to whatever it is that seems to be playing tricks on our eyes. When it comes to interpreting and making sense of incoming sights and visuals, it’s our brains that do all the hard work.
That’s part of the reason why people love looking at optical illusions so much because they’re new challenges for us to figure out and wrap our brains around. Research on the topic backs this belief up and according to Aude Oliva, a cognitive research scientist at MIT, “Anything that is new and surprising is something we naturally like because it means that we may learn something from it.” It’s no wonder so many of us enjoy illusions, and the tricky ones here are no exception!
While there are many different types of illusions it’s optical ones, which are also known as visual illusions, that happen to be the most well known sub-category. To experience some right now work your way through this quiz and see whether or not your brain can pass the test! It’s a fun way to keep your brain strong while challenging your mind and fooling your senses, so have fun and enjoy!
