It would be really interesting to view some statistics as to how accurate the test is across participants. It guessed I was 29 when I am 34, which seems relatively close -- but how do I compare to others in terms of error?
There were changes to target size (looking for missed clicks, I'd imagine) and clear patterns of movement vs. seemingly random targets. Wonder what else is being tracked.
I am 31. It guessed 31. For a moment I was sitting there thinking "did browser security just break completely and they somehow scraped into a social media profile of mine?"
I am 46 and it guessed 34, I figured it would err wildly in the other direction because I have a crappy mouse here at work and could have done much better with my usual mouse.
It guessed 8 years too young for me. Looking at that result and the ones below, it doesn't seem like it's doing a whole lot better than randomly picking an age in the 30 +/- 5 range.
I'd like to see how it does with folks further out on the age spectrum - less than 20 or greater than 50.
This was on HN a few days ago and it worked well for me so I asked my audiance on youtube and it didn't stack up very well. See the results in the comments http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K6bSVKao5I

[ 2.9 ms ] story [ 52.4 ms ] thread"I have the motor skills and catlike reflexes of a man in his 20s" is my new pickup line.
On the plus side, I got carded when I went out drinking this weekend.
