What is your Reaction time? c:
 
Yo!.....Reaction time is the interval time between the presentation of a stimulus and the initiation of the muscular response to that stimulus. A primary factor affecting a response is the number of possible stimuli, each requiring their own response, that are presented. Simply the time you take to response like that XD

0.101 seconds is the current fastest reaction time recorded for human being. lol

So whats your reaction time? This is link to the site where you can test your reaction speed lol.

Just tell us whats your reaction time or Post a pic

My average score was 274 ms, so a bit over a quarter of a second. Which is as I understand it, a very average reaction time.



....Bit of a tangent here, but something to keep in mind though is that this is a very simplistic test and not necessarily indicative of your more "realistic" reaction time. In this test, you're waiting for a single and very simple stimulus (green square changing to a red square) and performing a simple action in response (clicking the mouse), and you know ahead of time what action you must take.

In Smash 4 it's sometimes argued that anything 15 frames (the game runs at 60 FPS, so that's a quarter of a second) or more is "reactable" given that's also roughly the average human reaction time (using that very same tester site as evidence lol)....but that's not necessarily true. An actual match is not so simple as that. You're fighting against another person and the two of you are doing so much more than waiting for a simple visual cue in a zero-stress environment. Sure, in 15 frames/a quarter of a second your brain may register "oh shit something's happening", but are you aware of what exactly it is they're doing? Once you are, you then have to select and execute the appropriate action in response. But by the time you have, ZSS has already grabbed you (with her frame 16 at earliest tether grab) and is Dthrowing you lol

Sometimes when it looks like a player reacted to something, they didn't, they were just anticipating it and so pre-emptively cut out some of the time spent/wasted figuring out what to do.

tl;dr: This test artificially makes your (or other peoples') reaction time seem better than it really is because you're not just purely reacting but rather anticipating a single, simple action and responding with a single, simple action.

mine is apparently 268.0 ms.

Logan January 12th, 2017 7:56 AM

275, pretty disappointed with that haha

Tsutarja January 12th, 2017 8:53 AM

260 milliseconds was my average, with 239 being my lowest. :>

Got an average of 259, with 234 being the lowest.

But like mentioned above, this isn't an actual measure of reaction time, more like anticipation time, coz u are already aware of what u need to react to.

Here's how u can improve ur reaction time.


This does work actually, coz it improves ur hand-eye coordination & reflexes, especially if u're playing one with fast-paced button combos.

yeah its really a basic test c: but if you want to try it irl you can.

  1. Have your partner sit or stand with their arm on the flat surface so their wrist extends beyond the edge.
  2. Hold the meter stick vertically above your partner's hand, with the "0" end of the stick just above their thumb and forefinger, but not touching them.
  3. Instruct your partner to catch it as quickly as possible as soon as they see it begin to fall.
  4. Without warning your partner, drop the meter stick.
  5. Record how far it fell before your partner caught it. Consult the reaction time table to determine reaction time. Repeat at least two more times.
  6. Switch places with your partner and repeat it

In this experiment, your reaction time is how long it takes your eyes to tell your brain that the meter stick is falling and how long it takes your brain to tell your fingers to catch it. We can use the distance the meter stick fell before you caught it to figure out your reaction time.

XD Here you go.


If you want to improve aim, reaction etc for a game fps included i recommend Aimbooster. I practise there ^ _ ^

oh yeah I remember doing that one in college physics lab years ago

don't remember how it turned out though
