Evaluate cognitive response speed, monitor age-related changes, or assess the effects of fatigue and alertness.

Reaction Time Test FAQ

What is a good reaction time?

Average human reaction time is 250-300ms for visual stimuli. Under 200ms is excellent (professional level), 200-300ms is good, 300-400ms is average, and over 400ms suggests room for improvement.

Why do I keep getting false starts?

False starts occur when you click before the stimulus (green) appears. Stay patient, focus on the test area, and only click when you see the color change to green. Anticipating the timing leads to false starts.

How can I improve my reaction time?

Practice regularly, stay alert and well-rested, maintain good physical fitness, avoid distractions, use consistent technique, and consider specific reaction training exercises for gaming or sports.

Does age affect reaction time?

Yes, reaction time typically increases with age due to slower neural processing. However, regular practice, physical activity, and maintaining good health can help minimize age-related decline.

Is this test accurate for scientific purposes?

Our test provides good estimates for general assessment and training. For precise scientific measurements, specialized equipment is recommended. Results can vary based on browser performance, hardware, and testing conditions.
