Reaction and speed

Wetin be good reaction time?

No one fixed limit dey for good reaction time. One study wey dem calibrate find say average simple visual reaction time na 231 ms, or 213 ms after dem correct for delay wey equipment cause, but na reference results be dis, e no be ranking for your browser score. Study

Test for how quick you dey react

Test yourself: how quick you dey react. Follow the instructions, and use the same device and input method when you dey compare different runs.

Common questions

If the time low, e mean say response quick pass?

Yes, if na the same task and scoring rules. You need take more care when you dey compare different equipment.

I fit use the corrected study value as target?

Use am as background information. Dem never correct your browser result with the hardware correction wey that laboratory use.

Dis one measure all the speed of how I dey think?

We no turn result from this task to intelligence score.
