Reaction Time Investigation

[Kortney]

0.190

I play games a lot but not 10 hours a week.

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

.265, and a serious games.
If you gave me an unlimited supply of food, drinks, the Internet and games, you'd hear nothing from me ever again.

I've done this study previously, just so's you know in advance. I found little to no difference.

Mine is 0.228

So far I have about a .02 - .03 difference in time. Fastest gamer is 0.191, slowest is .246. Fastest non-gamer is .209 (complete fluke), slowest is .318.

Weird... I think might be less that games make your reaction speeds better (as almost all studies in this try to prove that) but more that people with these reaction times just play more games.

Isn't that pretty much the same thing?

No. Those are very different things. One is saying that games cause the better reaction times. The other is stating that people with better reaction times are more likely to play games. Very different things.

Well that makes more sense when said like that, I'm tired atm =P

No problem, happy to help somebody with some statistics.

former pro cs player, casual gamer now but over 10 hours p/week. 26 years old though, why the age limit? early 30s are when athletes typically begin to decline physically.

I got .202 - I used to play a lot of games but now I work full time so I'm lucky if I want to play games except for a couple of hours at the weekend. But I played a lot during my 'growing up years'.

I have to admit, since I gave up drinking alcohol except for special occasions and not because I'd gotten out of bed, I do feel like my reaction time is better. I'll catch things that are falling/about to fall better than I ever could.

Well, I exited out of this browser panel in less than a single second after I realized that it was probably either a Rickroll or a shock image, but according to your tester thingamajig my reaction time sits comfortably on the .227 mark.

He's probably testing his age group.

EDIT: Woo! Palindrome Post!

I got 0.26. I consider myself a gamer, but I'm not very good at most games. I still have fun though.

[Sacman]

.277 and I'm a gamer...

 

[Summerstorm]

Gamer... Average: 0.195, Last dot was not the fastest, but third. 181-215
played: Tired, but alert.

Considering myself having bad reflexes for a gamer. (Clickrate is ok.... but extended reflexes against, for example, people popping up and shooting or maybe recognizing attacking combos and countering them are my weak points).

Hm, after replaying i got much worse results. 240 average for example.
