Folks, as amusing as this reaction time test is, it so unreliable as to be pointless in measuring things in a tenth of a second. Between clicking on one web page button and another, the path that the command travels to get to the silicon and back (numerous times) is circuitous to say the least. Now this might suggest that people's reaction times are actually faster, but depending on how they wrote this, that might not be the case. And I'd say this test does not test reaction time at all because you are not measuring the time between a stimulus occurring at an imprecise time and a measured reaction - the stimulus is controlled by the subject (the first mouse click) and this destroys the whole test. If you are really interested, look up the studies and find out the nature of the samples and methodology that drove the decision to set the .10 limit. - Ed Parrot [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe it does, but I'm not convinced that it will. Any physios out there care to comment on whether or not you're basically stuck with the wiring you were born with? (I'm not talking about being able to improve your body's ability to perform a complex set of tasks more efficiently through repetition, that's a given. I'm talking about basic simple reaction.) Mike also assumes that a 40-year-old distance runner isn't a posterboy. Why not? Not sure there's a correlation between ability to react quickly and any kind of athletic ability. Is there? I remember when 100th-second electric watches first came out and a dozen or so of us track nuts decided to see who could start and stop their watch the fastest. The clear winner was the guy who was the least athletic (indeed non-athletic) of the bunch. gh
