The Housefly
180-209 ms. Annoyingly hard to catch, in the best way.
Curious what yours would be?
Try it yourselfPortrait of a Housefly
Researchers have found that flies take in visual updates several times faster than people do, which is why the rolled-up newspaper loses so often. You have a slice of that superpower. Averaging between 180 and 209 milliseconds means your brain spots the color change, sends the signal, and your finger fires before most players have finished blinking.
You are fast without being reckless, which is a rare combo. The catch? You know you are fast, and you would like everyone in the room to know too. You have definitely said "again, that one did not count" at least once today.

Where it shows up
You are the friend who wins musical chairs, the one who catches the keys tossed across the room, and the gamer whose teammates assume you have a better monitor. At work you are quick on the reply, sometimes too quick, so give big emails a second read.
