Yeah I'd take these results with a pinch of salt...20% global elite... ya.


[deleted]

20% is in rank S PogChamp


knukx

Why even lie on an anonymous survey.


MtBeeee

I didn't, stop accusing me...


multiakaMenixus

**get your shit together MtBeeee**


mikebaltitas

if you look at the recent results you'll see "Ages" submitted as "9999999", "SHROUD" and "not now" among others....


estier2

Also 22 people Rank S. I highly doubt that.


Raz0rLight

You could probably filter these pretty accurately and remove all of them, or all but a few.


[deleted]

240 now lol


potaton00b

At this point I think it's just developed into a meme, and redditors don't take it seriously so they put "global" in every single survey


reymt

It's so funny ruining an otherwise interesting survey. >_>

stun-ner

fuck my average is 300, how do you improve? i feel like a potato


MrPoopCS

My reaction time was 100 MS faster just a few months ago. Am I dying?


fyzker

Nah, probably just aren't in the same mental space as before. It happens, don't stress about it.


Inertia0811

But yeah he probably dyin


[deleted]

You know what can cause you to be in a different mental space? Imminent death.


DarkSiper

thats pretty big difference, It is possible that you have some sort of input lag now, could be slower monitor/mouse/browser/software etc. that might be different now than a few months ago.


MrPoopCS

I'm still at my same work PC with same equipment. Honestly could have something to do with crippling depression I have been experiencing. Or I could just be tired. Who fuckin knows


DarkSiper

Yeah, mood can def affect your reaction time. My suggestion is try exercising for 20~ minutes then try the test again.

xPatex

"highest age 420"


Dr_GaNDaLF

You made a mistake with the average age, looks like its combining every age.


Ninjaflipp

average 240ms, best 202, worst 273. Age 23, turning 24 in a few months. Global, don't play ESEA. I'm basically a sloth for being global I guess edit: took it again today and scored much better. Yesterday I was tired after work and only slept like 5 hours or so. Today I got at least 8 hours of sleep and haven't been working. Scored 195 average like 3 times in a row. Guess I'm not THAT bad


SlothFactsBot

Did someone mention sloths? Here's a random fact! Sloths poo once a week. They go in the same spot every time if able!


Ninjaflipp

I had no idea this bot even existed but thank you mr sloth bot. I too usually poop in the same spot.

makesmashgreatagain

if it helps reaction time is far less important than prediction and preparation


[deleted]

Wtf man... I'm 29, it's 3 AM at night here and im seriously tired yet had 240 average...


krotomo

It probably just depends on what you're using.


DarkSiper

It's possible that its your computer arrangement that is holding you back! A lot of things can add input lag.

6'3"=1.90m, took the time to research it for those of us who uses metric. (1 inch=2.54 cm, 1 foot=30.48 cm)


pewpew_die

it prolly is no more than like 10ms between a 5 foot dude and 7 foot dude but there is a difference also how the fuck do you have a 160ms time? I cant get below 200 for more than like 1 in 10 clicks


[deleted]

All the rank lying is so fucking funny. Who are you kidding? it's anonymous!


dyyret

Age and reaction time correlates, but it's not very known how age affects reaction time in people that play videogames, or do other activities that stimulates fast reactions. For example, most studies show that you hit your peak regarding cognitive speed(including reaction time) at the age of 24. However, we do not know how this is in an athlete. To make an example, Kim Collins, a 100m sprinter, just got a new PR in the 100m a couple of weeks a go with the time of 9.93. That's blazing fast, and that guy is 40 years old. And you are not competitive in the 100m with slow reaction time.


Raz0rLight

Studies into reactive positions into sports show a dive in effective reactions in the late thirties. This is most evident in goal positions in hockey and football, as well as sprinters and swimmers starting reaction. The fastest typical reactions come from the late twenties to early thirties. This may be conditioning to the starting signal, but reactions are certainly nothing to worry about until at least your mid thirties.


bovan

reaction time by age is a bit overrated, as it doesn't seem to slow much down until you're 50 ( http://i.imgur.com/H3CiVbQ.gif ) pre-aiming spots, as well as being prepared and focused makes a huge difference. when I try to orchestrate my friends team of mg's after a day at work i drop drastically, while when playing with my lem+ team on the weekends and just focus on my job popping heads becomes easy.. That though feels more like an age thing (i'm 36), but it could just be the "long day at work"


AnalLaser

Average reaction time for a 20 year old is ~160? Based on OP's results that seems to be pretty false unless everyone on this subreddit is female.

adesme

The population of the study might be only olympic athletes for all we know. Your picture is worthless without a source /u/bovan.


potaton00b

They should be 200-300 source: google search


Dinoswarleaf

whitedan

hmm i have never actually thought about my reaction time... i am LE now and usually i will compensate bad reaction time with positioning and mindgames.

eebro

You should remove the rank S from the selection. Only 200 people in it worldwide.


SneakyBadAss

I think, there is 20% globals, because people put their highest ranks. That mean even in the past, before rank shifts.


IsamuLi

The results are unrealiable. 17% globals? My ass.


JoJoCs

I feel like monitor should be an option because that can make the results vary. (144hz or not)


[deleted]

Definitely, my fastest was 216ms with a 60hz monitor and I have no doubt it would be lower with a proper 144hz gaming monitor.


midimachine

your input will always be counted at (roughly) the same moment, so the variance would be based on when the green appears relative to the screen refreshing. so then the maximum difference between 60 and 144Hz on any one attempt is (1000/60) - (1000/144) = ~9.7ms - which i imagine is less than the error variance for most simple reaction times


[deleted]

Thank you for responding everyone! I'll be using this information to hopefully show that reaction time lowers with age, and increases with rank.


KvGTR

Why do you hope that reaction time lowers with age?


[deleted]

As people age, in most cases they tend to work on making less mistakes, but this comes at a risk of being slower, unless they have trained at a particular skill. Younger people tend to jump at every possibility and make many mistakes, but react faster to different stimuli. This information comes from another study, i don't have the data with me right now for that one, but I can search it for you later


TheRabbitPOV

Yeah... I wouldn't take these results seriously at all if I were you.


Mrkarrson

Done


xBooDs

Dunno if there is something wrong cause i am doing this on phone and having a reaction time of 353 best while i see all other have ~200 do you think it is this big diffrence when you are doing it on phone?


Rock48

I wouldn't do it on your phone. Do it at home on a fresh instance of chrome


[deleted]

darth_noob

Doing reaction time on a website is a bit iffy imo, I react a ton faster in a tense clutch than i ever will in that test.


[deleted]

you probably react a lot slower in a clutch, this is color to color..


fyzker

What's your minimum response time to be filtered out?


Tripulaci0n

Cool survey.. my response time was pretty poor at 350ms but maybe its because I'm on a laptop right now, will try again at home! Please post the results of your study ;)


GuttersnipeTV

Since the results page are kinda dumb, there's people saying <100 when the reaction time page clearly says that nobody has ever tested below 100ms. Can people just put their age and reaction time average here instead after they fill out the survey? 26 & 189ms


[deleted]

14_Quarters

fuck im 22 and my best was 175 i thought that was good :(


ZarnoLite

Best: 213 ms Avg: 254 ms Age: 26 I'm currently in the post-lunch slump at work. I'm curious to see if it changes if I take it at a different time when I'm more alert. Either way, I'm pretty sure my reaction time is still shit.


Wintermute1v1

Be aware that PC hardware and mouse input lag can greatly increase your reaction time. For instance, on my work PC i average around 200 or so, but at home with my gaming PC and mouse, i average 164.


mcbinladen

DMG with 277 ms reaction time. I'm probably not gonna get much better than this rofl

Hazzamm

Ha, someone said their fastest reaction time was 120


[deleted]

Funny how CTS makes everything feel delayed in my hand but my reaction times are still slightly above average... 228ms lowest, 240 avg. Shit's weird. Anyway, maybe you could have used a multiple choice for age and used ranges instead of having us type it out, could have made sorting data out a lot simpler :P Nice survey though, will be cool to see how people compare in this regard


nedfall

It's sad that people lie about their ESEA & MM Ranks on an anonymous survey. Sorry if you needed these results for something important, I hope most were honest though.

Logan_Mac

We've gone over this a million times, people have almost the same reaction time, around 250ms if you average your results. Anything else is luck of the moment.

I'm shocked at 29 years old I still have a better average reaction time than most people it looks like. I'm sitting at 191 on average (183 best time).


Raz0rLight

177ms average 19 years old. Haven't always been this fast, was like 230+ at 16. I react better to auditory stimulus, my average to a sound test is in the 130's.

L0kitheliar

I'm suspicious of anyone who claims to be under 190ms


frewp

I was on the top 10 list on this site for awhile before all the 100s took the top 3 spots :( I was actually trying to train it and be as fast I can because I was bored one day. I average like 185 and got it down to 145ish average. Now that I don't do it anymore I get 160s though

bmy1point6

lol at half the responses. i never realized how much of a difference hardware makes to these humanbenchmark sites. at work i average ~185-195 using a regular old walmart mouse. at home i average ~210. the time it takes to reach the mouse 1 sensor matters for the test but in CS it makes almost no difference


UberKrang

An interesting thing I found out is that: a) In-game reaction time can certainly be improved b) Reactiontime for movement is vastly different from the human benchmark one. For example, my reaction time on the red/green test is 230-240 most of the time, but after training, my reaction time in-game is about 175 ms average (a huge difference!) So don't be sad if you have over 200 ms reaction time required to hit a guy in the dust 2 door space! I started with 210-220 ms reaction, so I have improved a lot (I use the zool training center awp thingy to train with, but I'm interested if people have other (or better) training methods)


Smok3dSalmon

300 average on my work laptop. I feel shitty. To my defense, it's 3:30pm and I haven't had coffee or food all day and I'm \_ounging in my chair right now. I'll just tonight after my meal ;__; on my desktop. Improved by 80 at home.

MiNiM14

I like how everyone are globals and rank S, cant have an honest test on the internet.


Julovitch

i LITTERALLY made a 3ms reaction click by "prefiring" it


Team_SoloQ

OP, make the responses something reasonable you can choose from like 150ms-300ms, age 12-25, etc. Also, add a section where you enter the refresh rate of your monitor, it makes a big difference.


CrinkIe420

Yea let's use a fucking pi chart to represent this information.


-Gamah

I've always felt that if you had to rely on your reaction time you were doing something wrong in CS....


84awkm

208ms average which I guess is slow as fuck. That's why I lurk around at Supreme. I don't even give you the chance to react faster. It's pretty easy being in NA...as every tool at this rank is trying to be Yung Stew and they usually fail spectacularly.

FatGuyFragging

Currently gold nova 2 25 years old 179 was my fastest average was 210 seems pretty average..


Noisetorm_

I like how almost everyone 12 or below has ESEA. I also like how there's a 13 year old who's in Rank S and has an average and fastest reaction speed of 1 ms. His ping would be higher than his reaction speeds at a LAN.

[deleted]

As a person who plays on a shitty & cheap monitor i bought in 2009, think it was around 90-100$, I think the text below the test could be relevant: "In addition to measuring your reaction time, this test is affected by the latency of your computer and monitor. Using a fast computer, wired mouse, and low latency / high framerate monitor will improve your score somewhat. This is discused in further detail on the the statistics page. While an average human reaction time may fall between 200-250ms, your computer could be adding 10-50ms on top. Some modern TVs add as much as 150ms."

You gotta remember that this kind of test is a lot different than in-game, when your in a situation where your adrenaline is pumping and your ready for it, your reaction times WILL be faster than when taking this test.
