peer agreement (net): +1computer-based diffuse attention test Explanation: Almost guessing :-) Another description found here: http://www.cheminots.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t2725.h... Is also associated with the work of a certain Lahy. searches on Lahy +"motor skills" turns up a few mentions of a thing called a diffuse attention test, which can take many forms, including use of 'puters to run the test.

I know it all seems a bit suspiciously obvious and simple to be true and is also capitalised in the above, but perhaps the French term, which doesn't get a huge number of hits, is in fact a mistranslation, based on the occupation not the surname. I appreciate this is a completely different suggestion, and since you've already decided what to put anyhow.... |
