Reflex Test
An arrow points left or right — press that arrow key the instant it appears, before the deadline. It’s a reflex with a decision baked in: you’re not just reacting, you’re choosing correctly under time pressure. Your score is your average over the trials.

What's a good score?
< 320 ms — Sharp — practiced gamers under a snap decision.
320–400 ms — Solid choice-reaction speed.
400–480 ms — Typical adult range for a decision-plus-response.
> 480 ms — Usually “slow right now” — fatigue and stress hit choice reactions hard.
What this test measures
This is a choice-reaction task, and it measures something a simple “click when it turns green” test can’t: reflexes with a decision attached. Adding even a two-way choice slows everyone by roughly 50–150 ms versus a pure simple reaction time test, because you’re now measuring a small decision, not just a reflex — which is exactly what a skill shot or a dodge actually is.
Like all reaction measures it swings with sleep, fatigue and time of day, so one number means little — the signal is your trend against your own baseline. If you want to get faster, we wrote the honest guide on increasing your reaction time, and this test anchors, alongside four others, our daily readiness check.
Questions players ask
What is a reflex test?
A reflex test measures how fast you respond to a stimulus. This version is a choice-reaction test: you must press the correct key (matching the arrow) before a deadline, so it captures reflex speed and a quick decision together, not just a bare reflex.
What is a good reflex score?
On a two-choice reaction test, practiced gamers often land under ~320 ms and the general adult range sits around 400–450 ms — slower than a simple reaction test because of the decision step. Compare on the same device and against your own history.
Are reflexes and reaction time the same thing?
Close but not identical. A true reflex is involuntary; what these tests measure is voluntary reaction time. A simple reaction test isolates raw speed, while a reflex/choice test adds the split-second decision that real gameplay demands.
