⚡ What is Reaction Time Test?

Reaction Time Test measures how quickly you respond to visual stimuli in milliseconds (ms). Click as fast as you can when the screen turns green across 5 rounds to get your average reaction time. Average adult reaction time is 200-300ms, while professional gamers can achieve under 150ms. Share your results to compare with friends or track your improvement over time.

💡 Tips to Improve Reaction Time

  • Get enough sleep: Fatigue can slow reaction time by 20-30%
  • Moderate caffeine: Can temporarily improve reaction speed
  • High refresh monitor: 144Hz+ displays reduce visual latency
  • Regular practice: Consistent training can measurably improve speed

Frequently Asked Questions

Is reaction time genetic or can it be trained?

Basic nerve conduction speed is genetic, but prediction and decision-making speed can be improved through training. Even pro gamers improve their reaction times through consistent practice.

Does reaction time decrease with age?

Yes, reaction time typically starts declining after mid-20s. However, regular exercise and cognitive activities can slow this decline significantly.

Why are my mobile and PC results different?

Input device latency differs. Touchscreens have 10-50ms delay while mice have 1-10ms delay, so PC results may appear faster.

What is Reaction Time Test?

Test your reaction speed by clicking when the screen changes color. Measures your reflex time in milliseconds and compares to average human reaction time (200-250ms).
