Is your reaction time good?

Every figure below comes from the reaction time test on this page — the real results visitors have chosen to add, not a textbook average. The rating scale with the test judges your speed on its own; this shows how you compare with everyone else who has taken it. Updated September 2026.

So is 180 ms a good reaction time? Yes — it beats roughly 95% of the results recorded by the reaction time test on this page. 250 ms is quicker than most people manage, and 300 ms sits almost exactly on the median, which is where the majority land. Scores from this test run slower than the figures you'll see quoted from laboratory studies, because those use dedicated hardware — testing your reflexes through a browser adds time from your screen, your mouse or trackpad, and the page itself. That's also why it's worth comparing yourself on the same device each time rather than against someone else's setup.
