So this study by Harvard is interesting.
It correctly identified my age by me clicking on the red dots. I'm intrigued as to how accurate it is on other people:
- jaylarson0
I'm 37 and it guessed 40.
- scarabin0
it was off for me by only a few months.
pretty accurate!
- uan0
it guessed me 10 years younger :)
- dbloc0
it guessed 9 years younger than my actual age
- utopian0
flawed.
- pig0
3 years out
- vivid0
guessed I'm 29 & I'm actually 33 (but think I'm 25!)

"To guess your age, we look at over 60 factors. Speed definitely matters, but it is only one thing that our software looks at. Other factors include the duration of tiny pauses people make while moving the mouse pointer, the timing of the peak velocity, the shape of the movement, and many others."

It guessed 31, I'm 37. I wonder if the time you take during breaks factors in? I imagine so. I only took a 5 sec break once.

I'm 35, it guessed 40. I'm calling the dean, right now.
Seriously though, couldn't mouse speed and mouse settings have a little to do with this? It certainly can't be strictly about how fast you recognize the red circle.

They have a lot of interesting tests on that page.

I'm 30, it guessed 29.
it's easily breakable though, if you want to.

It's a real test, absolutely true.
Infallible.
