In short: yes, you can measure your reaction time in a minute in this page: tap the box as soon as it turns green, five times, and see your average in milliseconds. It is a simple, indicative test that helps you compare yourself over time on the same device; it is not a medical test, and not a test of fitness to drive.
Five rounds
The box turns green after a random pause; tap as soon as it does.
Your average
The result is the average of five rounds, with your best round marked.
Compare over time
Same device, similar time of day: that is how results stay comparable.
How the test works
- Sit comfortably and put away distractions.
- Press Start. The box is red; after a random pause of a few seconds it turns green.
- Tap as soon as it turns green. If you tap before, the round starts again and is counted as an early tap.
- Five rounds. Your result is the average time, in milliseconds.
What affects the result
Reaction time changes with sleep, tiredness, alertness, caffeine, age and practice, and also with the device: the screen, the touch delay and the browser all add a few milliseconds. That is why the useful comparison is with yourself, on the same device, at a similar time of day, rather than with someone else's score.
What this test is not
It is not a medical test and does not diagnose anything. It is not a test of fitness to drive. Do not take the test while driving. If you notice a lasting change in your reactions, coordination or alertness, talk to a doctor.
Frequently asked questions
What is a normal reaction time?
For a simple test like this, on a screen, many adults land somewhere around 200 to 300 milliseconds, but devices differ a lot. Compare your results with your own earlier ones on the same device.
Why is my reaction time slower than usual?
Tiredness, poor sleep, distraction, a different device or browser, and simply not being warmed up can all slow it down. Try again after a short rest.
Does tapping early count?
No. A tap before the box turns green starts that round again and is shown as an early tap in your result.
Is the result saved?
The test runs on your device and keeps the result only while this page is open; nothing is stored in your browser. You can copy it; the Anpheros Daily app does not store reaction time results yet.
