It would be really interesting to view some statistics as to how accurate the test is across participants. It guessed I was 29 when I am 34, which seems relatively close -- but how do I compare to others in terms of error?

Guessed 34 while I am 21. Will be interesting to see how they're guessing - I'm guessing it's not as straightforward as a lower age = faster speed.

There were changes to target size (looking for missed clicks, I'd imagine) and clear patterns of movement vs. seemingly random targets. Wonder what else is being tracked.

It guessed 8 years too young for me. Looking at that result and the ones below, it doesn't seem like it's doing a whole lot better than randomly picking an age in the 30 +/- 5 range.

I'd like to see how it does with folks further out on the age spectrum - less than 20 or greater than 50.
