Reaction time test results: score meaning and next steps
Your result is the median of five valid responses, measured in milliseconds. Lower is faster on this run.

How the score is calculated
Sort the five timings and take the third. For 210, 230, 240, 260 and 400 ms, the median is 240 ms. A single slow round therefore has less influence than it would on the average.
Responses below 100 ms are rejected as anticipation. Responses after ten seconds and interrupted rounds are repeated. Display, browser and input latency are included in the measurement; a keyboard run cannot be compared directly with a touchscreen run.
Choose your next step
These are descriptive score ranges for this exercise. They are not population norms, percentiles, employer pass marks or clinical categories.
Under 200 ms
This run has a median below 200 ms. Check the early-response count and repeat on the same device before treating it as typical for you.
200–299 ms
The middle response was between 200 and 299 ms. Compare several five-round medians on the same device and input method.
300–499 ms
The middle response was between 300 and 499 ms. Try a quiet setting, then compare repeat runs without switching devices.
500 ms or more
The middle response was at least 500 ms. Check for distractions, browser interruptions and input delays. This number cannot identify their cause.
Make a useful personal comparison
Use the same device, browser and input controls. Fatigue, distractions and familiarity with the game can change the result. A single run should not stand for your general ability.
