Default Test your reaction time

Getting old, are we? Reflexes slowing down?
As I remember, the automobile driving manual, it
says the average driver's reaction time is:

. 75 seconds -or- 1 car length for every 10 mph...

Test your reaction time with this special test.

Budding Bobcat here also, but it is 06:30, I've been up for one hour and NO COFFEE yet.

PLUS I'm old. (If I can think of any more excuses I will be sure to post them (LOL))

Not to hijack, but here is a second simple age/mental test.
The following was developed as a mental age assessment by the School of Psychiatry at Harvard University. Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake. The average person over 50 years of age cannot do it!

1. This is this cat.
2. This is is cat.
3. This is how cat.
4. This is to cat.
5. This is keep cat.
6. This is an cat.
7. This is old cat.
8. This is fart cat.
9. This is busy cat.
10. This is for cat.
11. This is forty cat.
12. This is seconds cat.

OK, Very Good. Now go back and read the third word in each line from the top down and you will get your test results.
