Visual Reflex Test
Find and tap the green target when it appears among gray distractors. Complete five trials to see your median, best response and consistency.
Ready?
Three targets will appear. Tap the green target as fast as you can.

Reflex vs reaction time
Online “reflex tests” usually measure a visual response task. Medical reflex exams test different physiological responses and require clinical interpretation. ReactionMetric keeps those categories separate.
Environment profile
Display and input context are shown directly beside the test so each score keeps its measurement context.
Raw browser-observed milliseconds are shown without guessed hardware correction.
Visual reflex test FAQ
What is the difference between this reflex test and a reaction time test?
This test adds target detection: you must find the green target among distractors before responding. The main Reaction Time Test uses one simple visual signal, so the scores are not directly interchangeable. Use this page for spatial target-response speed and the main test for simple visual reaction time.
What does this visual reflex test measure?
It measures how quickly you detect the target and respond to it in the browser. The score includes visual search, decision and movement plus display and input delay; it does not isolate a pure neurological reflex. Use your five-trial median and repeated same-setup sessions as the most meaningful comparison.
What is a good visual reflex score?
There is no trustworthy universal browser cutoff for this task. A lower, repeatable five-trial median is better, but device timing and the target-search step both affect the number. Compare against your own previous runs on the same setup, and use ReactionMetric comparison data only when enough similar results are available.
Can this test diagnose a reflex problem?
No. This is a browser target-response exercise, not a clinical reflex or neurological examination. A slow or inconsistent result can come from attention, device timing, fatigue or many other factors. If you are concerned about weakness, numbness, unusual reflexes or a persistent neurological symptom, use an appropriate clinical service.
