I'm with you! I took it several times.... I would have to be dead to score as badly as I did.

My actual age is 59, and I scored 35 the first attempt and 25 the second attempt. I already know my reaction times are quick, regardless. I'm usually the first off the line when the light turns green and my reactions are even quicker in an crisis situation.

Especially if you are lined up on the wrong runway and a 737 is headed straight for you!

Not bad for not being able to use either arm in 1988.
This is not a good test though, but interesting.
Moving foot from gas to brakes is a whole different exercise.
That would be the real test.

I learned to drive manual transmission, so when driving automatic I still use both feet. One on the brake and one on the gas. Gives me about 1.5 seconds head start on most people. Still though, I can heel-toe almost instantly.

It's a bogus test. I bet someone who touch types for a living would probably have the quickest reaction times.

I look at it for the fun factor though.
It was interesting and worth trying.
Gave me something to do on a Sunday afternoon.

A much slower reaction using a trackpad. May be slower due to the bluetooth connection>

Johnny Carson pointed out the fasted recorded times are always from the time the light changes green, to the guy behind you honking his horn. :lol: :lol: :lol:
