AbstractContemporary digital workplaces face pervasive distractions (e.g., notifications, multitasking), yet talent-assessment systems rarely quantify their impact on attention. To address this gap, we integrate the classical Mean Value Theorem (MVT) with an adaptive bisection algorithm to model user-focus dynamics in talent-matching applications. MVT’s limit-based formulation captures continuous attentional shifts, while the iterative bisection method focus metrics by capturing dynamic attentional shifts through the mean toward optimal focus equilibrium, ensuring temporal continuity and rapid convergence. A controlled experiment involving Universitas Negeri Malang undergraduate students tested the Enhanced Mean Value Theorem–Bisection (EMVT-B) method in four simulated workplace scenarios. Participants selected Focus-oriented options over alternative strengths (Communication, Input, Relator, Adaptability) in approximately 65% of decisions, highlighting moderate yet improvable attentional commitment. Sensitivity analysis indicated that increasing the mean-shift threshold by 0.05 could raise Focus-oriented selections to 72%, emphasizing the method's practical impact. These findings establish EMVT-B as both a diagnostic and prescriptive tool, quantifying attentional stability while providing personalized strategies to enhance user focus. Future research should examine longitudinal applications and broader talent portfolios.
