Using my mouse to click, I was 64 years old.  Using a key on the keyboard to click, I am now 25 years old. Smiley

22

wonder if that is dog years

Driving in NYC you kinda get used to needing to show brake lights to those behind, even when not slowing down at all

Sometimes that can be irritating to those behind on a ride just like my judicious use of the air horns

Hmmm, averaged upper 20's to mid 30's. Again, not bad for an old fart that's closer to 80 than 75. I also tried using the mouse and was really slow. Soon as I went to hitting the keyboard, big difference. That's when the average dropped to the figures above.

248ms puts me at 18 according to their graph.  I'm 40, so it sounds good to me.

'We're not sure you are an actual human being' at 282mS. But, most samples are 18-20 years, with the keyboard. I use a Bluetooth mouse, so numbers jumped to 30-40 years. Not bad for having made over 65 trips around the sun.

Just as in shifting, it helps to pre-load the mouse button.  Grin.

Got 30 on the keyboard, 44 on the mouse. But then I am only 66.

If you read how they developed the data base for this test it makes you wonder if they had used a sample of 2000 veteran motorcyclists if the base would be different.  I am 76 and scored consistently around 22 with several "wonder if you are human" scores.  I am also a martial arts instructor which also hones reaction time.  I see that several other older riders scored much lower than their age also.  I don't have much faith in the test, but it was fun.

Faster / more consistent on the keyboard than the mouse.mid20's -  mid 30's on KB, about 10 years older with the mouse. But I'm still faster than my actual age on the mouse. Not too shaby being the end of the day and tired from working on the computer all day at work.

Wireless Mouse garnered low 50's.
I averaged mid-20's on the keyboard.
Actual age is mid-40's.

Those 2000 people they used to generate their data must have been some real slugs.
Or perhaps, bike riders have a significantly higher awareness to their surroundings.

How fast you can hit a button after seeing a trigger is not much of a gauge of how well you can handle a bike in all conditions of traffic, weather, road surface and shape. 

Besides a quick finger poke, there are such things as: using both hands and both feet, front and rear brake combinations, feathering brakes and clutch, proper shift points, lean and body english, paying attention close and far, judgment, and so on.

With a little practice, a 10 yo can probably beat me on the finger poke..... but I won't be giving him the keys to my bike.

It stopped the game and asked for my personal information. It then informed me my personal information was being forwarded to DMV and I should get a ride to DMV and surrender my license.

I won't tell you what score I got but it was well below my real age.

I'm thinking based upon the results we've had reported that the test's creator's age to reaction relationship is very seriously flawed.

+1 Or maybe they were out to stroke our egos.  When I lived in AK. I used to always say I had catlike reflexes because everybody would slip and fall on the ice but I never did. But I will have to admit my cat is getting up there in years and may be on his 7th or 8th life  Smiley
