πŸ“Š How Does the Reaction Time Test Work?

This test measures your simple visual reaction time (SRT) β€” the interval between visual stimulus onset and neuromuscular motor activation. Average human reaction time to visual stimuli sits between 200ms and 270ms. Highly trained esports athletes and Formula 1 drivers frequently register scores between 140ms and 190ms.

Tips to Improve Your Reaction Time

  • βœ“Use a high refresh rate gaming monitor (144Hz+) to shave off 10-15ms input delay.
  • βœ“Optimize physical ergonomics and rest your finger right against the mouse button.
  • βœ“Stay relaxed; excessive muscle tension slows cognitive reaction.
