Aim Trainer

Hit 30 targets as they appear and get your mean time per target. The typical score on Human Benchmark is about 400 ms; we fit a normal curve with mean 420 and SD 110 to their self-selected sample.

About this test

The aim trainer shows 30 targets one at a time and measures the mean time per target in milliseconds. Human Benchmark reports a median near 400 ms per target across its users; the module compares you to a normal curve with mean 420 and SD 110. That sample is self-selected and not peer-reviewed, so treat the percentile as a comparison with people who take aim tests, not with adults in general.

Fitts (1954) showed that the time to reach a target grows with its distance and shrinks with its size, and that law still describes mouse aiming. Mouse sensitivity, screen size and whether you aim with the wrist or the arm all move the score by tens of milliseconds. Reaction time is part of it, but most of a 400 ms target is movement.

What is a good aim trainer score?

Under 300 ms per target is fast and near the top decile of the Human Benchmark sample. Around 400 ms is the median. Over 550 ms usually means a trackpad, a very high or very low sensitivity, or an unfamiliar setup.

Does a trackpad hurt aim scores?

Yes, by 100 to 200 ms per target in most cases. A trackpad has to accelerate the cursor across the pad, and precision at the end of the move is slower than with a mouse.

How can I improve my aim?

Lower your sensitivity until a full-arm swipe covers the screen, then practise flicks at that setting for a few minutes a day. Consistency beats speed: the test measures every target, so one missed flick costs more than a slightly slower approach.

Percentiles above come from the same parameters the Aim Trainer module uses. See the methodology for how they are calculated.
