Reaction Test (online Flash game)

[Dauphin]

This is a small game to measure your average reaction time over 5 attempts.

Apparently the British driving manual says the average motorist's reaction time is 0.75 seconds, so see how you go:

Obviously this is a bit different to operating a motor vehicle but still interesting.

Farnsworth Edit: try this one too, basically a stoplight game:

1st go .27
2nd go .22
3rd go .28

[Professor Farnsworth]

not sure how i got 0.00 for 4 of them as there was a definite slight movement but maybe it starts timing from when they break past the line of the pack.. I have been told by doctors i have ridiculously quick reflexes though lol.

1st go: 0.2 seconds

[krzysiek]

This might be addictive
2nd: .185

Going to leave it now before I waste a lot of time.

[rochey]

true you can shoot them when they twitch lol

[mik]

oh dear.........ambling armadiio, i think there`s abit of delay in the touch screen, i hit the screen on the second row of grass , the sheep keep running lol, i reckon you blokes have stronger darts than i have, ............or maybe i`m just old .

.28
.27
.27

[SteveJH]

Average: 0.256, first go.

[Swordsman88]

i did this just after waking up...got an average of 0.28. After an hour i got 0.22.....after a few more tries i got 0.2. So either i'm just getting better at it (and wasting time) or driving just after waking up is as bad for your reaction times as i always suspected. Never thought i was as on top of it just after i woke up or after a snooze on a flight etc. so might be some truth to it....

Mythbusters did a comparison of driving tired and driving tipsy (follow up of driving on the phone). Tired they had more errors and slow reaction times.
my average was 0.3 (bobbing bobcat) 0.26 - 0.333.

.25
.26
.22

I have long arms, so it takes longer for the reaction from my eye's-brain-arm-finger to happen

haha nice excuse. I would imagine the difference would be 1/100 of stuff all with the speed of the nervous system :P

Hahah thats gold Lanky!

[BrisVegas]

First go, just drank some caffeine.

0.22

[Professor Farnsworth]

someone beat me already.

in the mean time here is another one which is much harder i've found. It's also more appropriate as you have to wait for the red to turn green - best i can do so far (fastest, not average) is 229ms - apparently the median is 215?!

as far as all these tests go, they're somewhat dependant on your hardware too, especially your mouse type and how much travel there is in the button before it depresses the microswitch to send the signal to the computer.

if that is the case, then post your height with your reply and we'll see if it's much of a difference

i'm 5ft11

[DBourne]

.22 for my first go

[trippytaka]

Best I can get out of three games is 0.168

Very addictive!

[Professor Farnsworth]

Dauphin i've edited your OP to add the other reaction test in, hope you don't mind.

[mik]

it`s better on the pc , bobbing bobcat, av 0.26

[blueoval]

0.166 is the best Ive got.

[prasac]

.169 first time, not trying another just incase i can't beat it, i'll be trying all day

6'3'' height should make bugger all difference

[Ben73]

I got 0.27.
Not bad considering I just did 4 nights shifts at work and feel pretty tired.

[gz1]

Ok Had to try this, and I found it is VERY hardware dependant.
on laptop 0.22
on desktop 0.28
inside a VM 0.01

so I'll take the VM score ;-)

[TZENU]

0.160.... my fingers are still twitching oh and am about 5'11''
