You think you have an awesome reaction time? You think gaming makes you alert?
If you think so, then try this reaction time test and post your scores!

Surprisingly, my reaction time is within the average... I have a .225 second average. The average reaction time for a human is .2 - .25, so I guess I'm pretty good...
So, give it a try and post your results.
Think playing video games improves reaction time???
"My fastest was .061 with an average of .24It's physically impossible to react below a tenth of a second, since it takes about a tenth of a second for your brain to receive signals from your eye.
"
So, you probably got really lucky and clicked at the wrong time, but the light changed colors just before you made the mistake.
I did it twice. .242 the 1st time through, .241 the second time through. So, I guess the results are consistent.
I've taken tests like this before. I got .18 average all but the last one which is always a bit slower for me for some reason. I hear that in reaction tests like this, the sense of touch is faster than sound, sound is faster than eyes, and eyes are slowest. I think what games do for people is gives them faster reaction times to more complicated scenarios. Show people a Helghast or ISA face (or any other game allies/enemies) from different angles and see how faster gamers react compared to other people.
also : I'm using a CRT, I wonder if that is helping my times?
