Time Estimation Test

How well do you sense time passing, without a clock?

Your brain has no real clock: it estimates the passing of time from the rhythm of what happens around you and inside your body. That is why minutes seem to fly when you are absorbed in something and drag on when you are waiting. The test asks you to stop an invisible stopwatch exactly at the target you choose, three times in a row, then shows how far off you were on average and whether you tend to rush or stretch time. Counting in your head is allowed - it is actually one of the best strategies.

Everything is calculated directly on your device. We save nothing - your record disappears when you close the page.

Your result is the average deviation from the target, expressed as a percentage, so rounds with different targets can be compared. It varies with tiredness, focus, and device - try a few times. An approximate test, just for fun, not a medical or psychological assessment.
