the FOCUS Assessment
A scientifically validated 20-minute attention test that shows how the brain is really working — objectively, accurately and without judgement. It’s where everyone we work with starts.
what it is
The FOCUS Assessment was developed by Afriforte (Pty) Ltd — a South African psychometric research company with deep roots in the WorkWell Research Unit at North-West University, Potchefstroom.
No long questionnaires. No guesswork. Just a clear picture of how attention, processing speed and impulse control are working right now.
It takes 20 minutes. And it changes how you understand what’s going on.
what it measures
Each one shows up differently depending on who you are. Here’s what it can explain:
Whether focus is reliable and sustained — or drops off, comes and goes, or only shows up on good days.
How efficiently the brain takes in, processes and responds to information — and it’s trainable.
How quickly and impulsively the brain responds — before thinking things through.
How the brain responds to things you see and hear around you — can you filter out what doesn’t matter?
who it’s for
Understanding why your child struggles at school, with homework or routines — before assuming it’s attitude or laziness.
Understanding why focus, productivity and follow-through feel harder than they should.
Seeing exactly where the mental game costs performance.
Finding the gaps between current results and the marks needed for competitive degrees.
Seeing where brain health is today — and building a plan to keep it strong.
Understanding the impact of stroke, TBI, chemo brain or Alzheimer’s — and where training can help.
what you get afterwards
Your report shows:
The report is clear, jargon-free and practical.
You’ll understand it — and you’ll know exactly what to do next.
You can share it with teachers, therapists, coaches or doctors, so everyone supporting you works from the same picture.
why it’s different
Most attention tools are observation-based: someone watches, rates and gives an opinion.
The FOCUS Assessment measures actual brain performance in real time, using a standardised, norm-referenced tool developed and validated by Afriforte with the WorkWell Research Unit at North-West University.
Not a checklist. Not a rating scale. Real data.
The same kind used in workplace psychometric testing, research and performance assessment.
