How fast is your reaction time?

[graham bowers]

Average of around 40, spread of 10 years. Am actually 60.

I can only get my actual age by keeping my hands in my lap till stop appears.

 

[tyred]

I'm 26 if I use my keyboard or 87 if I use my mouse (laptop touch pad). I'm 37, soon to be 38.

[QUOTE 4874764, member: 76"]It appears I have the reaction of a Striking Sloth.

I didn't notice the hand sign at first![/QUOTE]
Run many peelers on point duty over lately.

Best I could get was 21 so I asked my 9 year old and he got down to 20 but not 9, would that have been better or is there an optimum so to speak? Then we obviously hit a rich vein of alertness and both moved into the 'are you a human' zone.

He also let it run on and in the end it said 'you are obviously very, very old'!

I got two of those "We're not sure..." messages. It gets easier with practice. 18 was the lowest actual age. First attempt was 40.

18 was the lowest actual age.

Yeah, they only tested adults, and it's a linear relationship. So 18 is the best (non-robot) result you can get.

Finally did it.

Thought I was going to have give you my trophy, but luckily.....

Sebastian Vettel claimed that Valtteri Bottas jumped the start at the Austrian GP yesterday........

In light of his recent behaviour, I'd suggest that young Sebastien might do well to just keep his trap shut for a few weeks.

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

337ms and estimated 30 yrs. I'm 49 if that's any good.

 

[Threevok]

Only now I saw this post. Says it all really. Exempt from testing.

 

[HLaB]

Reassuring to see that I'm just higher than average as usual. I've got the reaction time of a 40year old, I'm nearly 42

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Reactions of a very very old person.

Got distracted which is most likely scenario for a car driver.

Sebastian Vettel claimed that Valtteri Bottas jumped the start at the Austrian GP yesterday, even though the track and car sensors (not to mention video) proved that he didn't. What he did was have a very quick reaction to, maybe even a lucky anticipation of, the starting lights. His reaction time is recorded as 201 milliseconds.

This episode got me curious about training for such a scenario and how quickly you could react to a given signal and I came across this online test while googling. My first go on the test put me at the reaction time of a 30yr old but after four more goes I had that down to 21yr old, and then...

So, as a bit of fun, how fast can you do it?

210

At work I can't get any better than 37 years old (I blame my battered old wireless mouse). At home I got progressively quicker to the point were I was no longer human.
