Why 7 seconds? Well, studies suggest that creative minds are quicker at identifying patterns and subtle changes. If you can find all the differences within the time limit, congratulations – you might just have an exceptional eye for detail!

How optical illusions test your creativity

Optical illusions play tricks on your brain, making you question what you see. They engage both hemispheres of your brain—the left (logic) and the right (creativity). The ability to detect subtle changes in an image means your brain is actively processing visual cues in a unique way. This skill is often associated with problem-solving, design thinking, and even artistic abilities.

Tips to spot the differences faster

If you’re struggling to find the differences, don’t worry! Here are some tips to make it easier:

Scan the image systematically – Start from one side and move your gaze slowly across the entire picture.Look for colour or shape changes – Sometimes, differences can be as subtle as a missing leaf or a slightly different shade.Pay attention to details – The background, facial expressions, or small objects might have been altered.Blur your vision slightly – This can sometimes help spot inconsistencies quickly.Break the image into sections – Divide it mentally into four parts and analyze each part separately.
