What the task actually measures
Choosing quickly on a screen is different from physical agility. Device speed, familiarity and the quiz's scoring rules can affect the result.
Some people are extremely agile not only physically, but mentally and visually as well. They can use their coordination, speed, reflexes, and perception to achieve and pick up on minute details and other things that less agile people fail to ascertain. This type of agility is a special gift that many people are either naturally blessed with, or work hard to develop and strengthen their skills in it.
Agility is specifically defined by vocabulary.com as “the ability to be quick and graceful.” As such, more often than not an individual's mental speed and visual skills depend primarily on their overall agility. How smooth, fluid, and quick do you think your agility skills are? Do you believe they are flawless enough to pass this quick fun test, right here and right now?!
This quiz will test how fast and fluent you are able to pick up on certain numbers, symbols, or letters. Each of the featured symbols are concealed somewhere among a series of boxes containing other similar looking and confusing types of letters and numbers. In addition, it gets progressively harder as the boxes become more crowded, and thus more tricky, as you work your way towards the end of it. According to Playbuzz, the only people who can pass this quiz are those who have flawless agility skills.
The key to truly mastering this test lies in your overall speed. The faster you identify, solve, and move through it, the higher your agility. Try it now and see how perceptive and graceful you really are, and remember, speed is the most important factor here. Good luck!

Getting Started
Look-alike symbols are designed to trick a quick glance. Try counting along the row one character at a time and the impostors will start to stand out.
Sharp Glance
You caught a good number of the impostors. The longer rows are harder for everyone, so a slower, steady scan pays off.
Pattern Spotter
Very good: you picked out most of the odd symbols, even in the crowded rows. Your eye for small differences is well practised.
Perfect Scan
Ten out of ten! You found every impostor. It is a fun puzzle score rather than a measure of agility, but an impressive one.
