The best human benchmark scores and world records for reaction time, typing, aim and memory tests, plus the score you need to reach the top 100.
Published October 16, 2026
As of October 16, 2026, the best human benchmark scores are a 175 ms average on the reaction time test, 134 WPM on the typing test, a 21-digit number recalled in number memory, 20 on the chimp test and 27 in sequence memory. Every record in this article comes from our public human benchmark leaderboards, where every player is scored by the same rules.
The ten tests cover the classic human benchmark set, reaction time, aim trainer, typing, chimp test and the memory games, plus a clicks per second test and a Formula 1 start test. Below you will find the world number one for all ten, how far ahead of the field each record is, and the score you need to get on the board yourself.
This is a snapshot of the ten global leaderboards taken on October 16, 2026. Rankings change whenever someone beats a score, so the live leaderboard for each test always has the final word.
A world record is one person. The more useful number for most players is the cutoff: the score held by whoever sits in 10th and 100th place right now. Beat the 100th score and your name appears on the global leaderboard.
Lower is better for Reaction Time, Aim Trainer and the F1 Test. Higher is better for every other test. Equal scores are separated by secondary stats such as accuracy, and then by who set the score first, which is how nine players can share 19 on the chimp test and still hold distinct ranks.
Five rounds, one average. Get under the 100th-place time and your name goes on the global leaderboard.
Take the reaction time test
The reaction time test record is a 175 ms average across five rounds, set by Fatul from the United States on June 20, 2026. Second place, memorylane from South Korea, sits at 183 ms, and 192 ms is enough for the top 10. A first honest run in a browser usually lands between 250 and 300 ms, as our guide to the average reaction time explains.
dimitris951 from Greece holds the aim trainer record with an average of 237 ms per target: all 30 targets in 7.1 seconds, with 100% accuracy and no misses. It is the most dominant record on the site. Second place is 377 ms, 140 ms slower, and it is also the newest record, set on October 5, 2026.
The typing test record is 134 words per minute on a 30-second test, with 100% accuracy and zero errors, set by Fatul on June 21, 2026. signalnest from Brazil is second with 112 WPM, typed on Android. Ten players are at 107 WPM or faster. To see how a normal speed compares, read typing speed by country.
Fatul also holds the number memory record: a 21-digit number recalled correctly after a brief look, before all three lives ran out on 22 digits. Second place is 19 digits. The 100th-place score is 7 digits, close to the classic short-term memory span of about seven items.
Jonas from France set the clicks per second record at 18.2 CPS, which is 182 clicks in 10 seconds, on Android. That is 4.1 CPS clear of second place at 14.1 CPS. France also holds third place, with Yvan at 13.6 CPS.
The F1 Test measures how fast you react when the five start lights go out. Fatul holds the record with a 170 ms average over three starts. It is the tightest race of all ten tests: four players are tied on 173 ms right behind, and 181 ms is the top-10 cutoff. Real Formula 1 drivers usually react in about 170 to 220 ms, as covered in reaction time by profession.
loworbit from the United States reached 20 on the chimp test on iOS: 20 numbered tiles memorized at a glance and clicked back in order once the numbers were hidden. Nine players are tied on 19 just behind, which makes the step from 19 to 20 the hardest on any leaderboard so far.
The verbal memory record is 92 correct answers, set by Fatul on June 20, 2026. Each word shown is either new or already seen, and three wrong calls end the run. zedloop from Canada is second with 85, and 78 is the score to beat for the top 10.
Chronological Back Pain from Bulgaria, aged 17, holds the sequence memory record by repeating a sequence of 27 flashing tiles. Second place belongs to T-Bias from the Czech Republic, aged 14, with 22. It is the only test where the top two players are both teenagers, and the same player also ranks second on the aim trainer.
tarolab from the United States holds the visual memory record at level 16, with seven players tied on 15 behind. At 38, tarolab is the oldest of the current world record holders.
Once you have a clean score, compare it with the cutoffs above, then check the live leaderboards to see exactly where you would rank today.
The record is 21 digits. Get past 7 and you enter the top 100.
Take the number memory test
Each test has its own unit, so there is no single best score. As of October 16, 2026, the human benchmark world records are 175 ms for reaction time, 237 ms per target on the aim trainer, 134 WPM for typing, 21 digits in number memory, 18.2 CPS for clicks per second, 170 ms on the F1 Test, 20 on the chimp test, 92 in verbal memory, 27 in sequence memory and 16 in visual memory.
The human benchmark reaction time record is a 175 ms average across five rounds, held by Fatul from the United States since June 20, 2026. The ranking uses the average of all five rounds rather than the single fastest click, so one lucky attempt is not enough.
A practical target is the 100th place on each human benchmark leaderboard, because beating it puts you on the global board. Today the 100th-place scores are 331 ms for reaction time, 54 WPM for typing, 7 digits in number memory, 8 on the chimp test, 31 in verbal memory, 7 in sequence memory and 6 in visual memory.
The chimp test world record is 20, set by loworbit from the United States on iOS on June 18, 2026. Nine players are tied on 19 behind it.
The number memory world record is 21 digits, held by Fatul from the United States. Second place is 19 digits, and 17 digits is the current cutoff for the top 10.
Every test has a public top 100 on the human benchmark leaderboards page, updated as soon as a record is beaten. Developers can read the same rankings as JSON through our public API.
