Important Limitations
The values shown are illustrative and must not be treated as statistically representative. Browser, display and audio hardware differences can materially affect individual results. No universal margin of error is asserted.
Improving Your Score
Practice can improve performance on familiar tasks, but scores are also influenced by fatigue, practice effects and hardware. Repeating the Reaction Time Test (ms) may help you track your own results; it cannot establish a diagnosis.
