I just took this reaction speed test and it turns out I'm pretty significantly under the median reaction time. Assuming the results are accurate I think this means I'm an extreme reactionary. I'm sorry to let you all down. I think you might need to ban me now kitty-cri

I'd encourage each of you to take the test too to make sure you aren't a reactionary. Self test so that we can truly weed out all of Hexbear's reactionaries once and for all.

The real reactionary thing about this is using red and green for the test, making it more difficult for people with the most common forms of color blindness disgost

This is a seriously infamous bit

Holy shit.

You need to either become a counter-strike god, an old timey gunslinger, or literally a cat. These are the best career options for you.

I'm already really good at CS how did you know

It's okay, just get out of your chair and revolve quickly a billion times.

It'll make you a bit dizzy, but you can be a revolutionary again.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I love this for you

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I got 173 ms average (92nd percentile), but I did use my gamer monitor which might count as doping

Okay calm the fuck down what do you do for a living? Iaido draw and cut down ronin with a single slash before they can draw their sword for forty hours a week? Holy shiiiiiiiit that's amazing! xi-reactionary-spotted

If you take the test after seeing this post, that was a reaction. It's too late for you, regardless of the result.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

my results are disappointingly average 😔

interestingly changing my monitor refresh rate from 120Hz to 60Hz makes me slower by like 40-50ms

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

That actually kinda makes sense that a slower refresh rate would slow the result down

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

193 ms

damn, sandwichdawg do you play melee with those axons?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I'm a Real Gamer unfortunately, which is honestly the real reason to ban me

495 ms Gang

I'm getting about 215 on my shitty work monitor. will test again at home on good stuff because my ego is hurt

162 on my home pc.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

the units/magnitude fuck up on my mobile, so my first shot said 0.448 ms instead of the highly likely 448 ms.

I shall interpret the first result at face value and assume that I am the the breath of all creation because I can mash my thumb 10 times in the span of time it takes for a single flap of a honey bee's wing.

You are the Original Reactionary

I think this puts me in NAFO territory. hesitation-1

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

i too played counter strike more than 20 years ago

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm slow but then again I'm old.

I'm on a PC and I did the test a bunch of times and I managed to get to 208. I needed to stop so I ~~don't~~ didn't try to get it down to under 200. I'd feel like a lab animal trying so hard to get a tasty pellet.

Mobile I got 300+, that made me mad so I went to the PC, where I was getting 250, which still didn't sit right because the time between my brain screaming "GREEN!" and the hand figuring out how to push button felt significant. When I switched to clasping the mouse so that a hand clench/attempting to make a fist pushed the button, I got it down to 198.

Trying to figure out other ways I can trigger it. Now I know my trigger finger is slow.

I saw a 177 in there and I'm trying to reproduce but not having much luck

Ok switched mice to a cheapo vertical mouse that's not trying to run much of its own software AND is intended for that kind of grasp and I got it to 180ms. I am speed
