Human reaction time is the delay between a stimulus and a response. In gaming, this usually refers to the Visual Reaction Time (VRT). The average human reaction time to visual stimuli is approximately 250 milliseconds, but elite Esports athletes can consistently hit below 180ms.
Your score in this test represents your total system latency—the combination of your own biological response time and your hardware's input lag. If you are using a high-latency wireless mouse or a monitor with slow pixel response times, your scores will be significantly higher than they would be on professional-grade hardware.
Reflexes can be trained. Playing fast-paced rhythm games or shooters can help "prime" your nervous system for faster responses. Additionally, simple biological factors like sleep, caffeine intake, and hydration levels have a massive impact on your visual reflex performance.
