How old are you based on your reactions?

#12I may be off here but, I found that when I had the window fullscreen the graphics were rendering very slowly and my reaction times were very slow. I then made the window smaller and the graphics were much smoother time and my reaction times were much better.
Noticed the same thing here - several hundred ms lower for a smaller window size

Same here. I reduced my reaction time from 500ms to sub-300 after re-sizing the window down to about 400 by 400 px.
If anything, their model suffers from omitted variable bias--the power of your computer!
Re: How old are you based on your reactions?
#14It would be nice to know something about the accuracy of the age estimate (stdev? or 66% of 29-year old's trials are between blaah and blaah?), and also, how many tries did the test subjects get. I got a couple of "we are not sure you are human" ratings after a few tries (around ten tries total).
Re: How old are you based on your reactions?
#15I really like the idea but it's completely off. What it should do is measure your reaction time: the time between the sign appearing on screen and the user pressing the mouse or tapping the screen. What it does is include frame rendering time. I apparently have the reaction speed of a 80-year-old at 22 (900ms), while I'm sure my reaction time on computers is around 225ms (measured on different occasions).
Also, you compare with the average, but what's your error margin? Were there 25 year olds that got 350ms and 200ms or did everyone consistently get between, say, 240 and 250?

#16> We're not sure if you're an actual human being With the reaction time of (271) milliseconds.
Really? That is like two deaths by a railgun in quake III. And lets not go into the real twitch games like Ninja Gaiden or DMC III royal guard. Or random bulletstorms ...

Edit - couple of more trys - consistenly under 300 ms. The majority of time is lost in the click itself. With Type M ior cherry red could probably shave to 200-sh. Also getting better results with keyboard (cherry blue) vs mouse (DeathAdder)

#17At first I'm 55 and then they're not sure I'm human. I'm actually in my late 20's.

#18I wonder if something which flatters the user is more likely to go viral?
That it consistently underestimates my age by a couple of decades certainly makes me want to link to it and boast.

#19"You have the reaction of a 23 year old". Since I'm 45, I guess I should take that well, but I would guess it has more to do with spending my 45 (one way) mile daily commute watching for animals on the road.

Or simply having a fast computer. If you make the window smaller the graphics speed up and your reaction times magically shrink.
