What's your reaction time like? Do players who favor first person shooters have the fastest times?

My average was .2156 with a best time of .186.

I play a lot of FPSs but I prefer RPGs.

I never got over .23 seconds except for once when the green light turned on and I stared at it for a second before I realized I was supposed to click it.

0.33 ish. But then I am getting older and got a system full of codeine. Wasn't expecting it to be as fast as the young people.

Doing it first thing in the morning before I have woken up properly probably doesn't help.

Taking it a second time gives 0.23

Not the greatest test I have seen.

I play an awful lot of old school shmups too.

I have a 0.211 average. I think I could get a better time, as it is 2 am right now and I'm extremely tired.

Or you're just clicking the mouse a lot hoping to get lucky.

That's kind of sad since this is just an internet forum.

Most of the games I play are shooters, not all of them FPS's, however I'm more the RPG or RTS kinda gamer.

Edit: After noticing you could cheat by simply spamming your mouse button I went back and got this.

FPS player, 32 y.o. and quite good with getting the first shots on people thanks to my reaction time. Seeing how I'm aussie, lag takes 200-300ms off me when playing online, sometimes more, so quick reactions are a must. I don't know how to put the result on here, but my result was 0.2052, after 3 goes to warm up!

Third time taking the test. I spend a lot of time playing instagib Sauerbraten, ridiculously fast paced game.

Edit: Steadily improving, just got an average of 0.195.

I play rpgs.
Maybe people who are snappier like shooters more, rather than the reversal of cause and effect.

I actually sucked I think, 0.24 or something? ...but I just woke up so that shall be my excuse of choice!

EDIT: Oh and for the games bit I guess I play RPGs the most, never FPSs really. Though I play drums so my hitting speed for cheating was quite good! Woo!

I've never played an FPS (I do play RPGs, JRPGs, Platformers) and considering I'm partially blind:



My sister probably could do better at this considering she loves Halo.

This is the simplest cross-platform test I could find (and it's the first result on Google for "reaction time test"). [http://getyourwebsitehere.com/jswb/rttest01.html]



That's about a typical range: for me, the low end is 205-215 ms, the middle is around 220-230 ms, and the high is around 250-260 ms.

I predominantly play first person shooters and I do fairly well, but I think I'd play strategy games more if I was any durn good at them :(
This is a much better test:

I got .23 on mine.
