The Sloth

Portrait of a Sloth

Sloths move so slowly that algae grows in their fur, and they climb down from their tree only about once a week. They are not lazy; they are running an extremely energy-efficient lifestyle. An average of 400 milliseconds or more puts you in the same peaceful lane, and you wear it with dignity.

Honest note: most healthy people react faster than this, so a Sloth score is usually a sign that something else was going on. Touchscreen delay, a Bluetooth mouse, a busy browser, a sleepy evening or a very interesting conversation in the background can all stack up. Confession time: you probably looked away right when the screen changed. We have all been there. Some of us live there.

Strengths

• Zero false starts: impossible to rush
• Peaceful presence in any group
• Deliberate, thoughtful decision-making
• The most room to improve, so the biggest glow-up

Blind spots

• Often distracted or tired during tests
• Hardware lag may be eating your time
• Takes a while to switch into action mode

Where it shows up

You are the calm one who never makes a rash call, which is underrated. If you want a better number, retake the test on a computer with a wired mouse, close other tabs, sit up, and keep your eyes locked on the box. Many Sloths jump two or three tiers in a single sitting.
