The Brain Speed Test Results

Your score is milliseconds in auditory processing speed.

A lower score represents a faster brain. As shown in the graph below, if you scored 30 ms or less, your brain is probably capable of capturing most of what it hears even when the speech is very rapid or takes place in a noisy environment—such as a crowded restaurant.

If you scored 120 ms or more, chances are that your brain has trouble catching the details of everything you hear. That doesn’t mean you can’t understand what you hear when you hear it. What it means is that your brain makes less clear or “fuzzier” imprints. As a result, it’s harder for your brain to recall exactly what you heard when you try to remember it later.

Average auditory processing speed slows with age, as seen in the chart below. (Dots represent individual people; the gray line shows average processing speed for different ages.)
