This was pretty cool, but I don't see a strong connection to SC2. The idea for testing reaction time is measuring a reaction to a randomly timed stimulus, but when you're in-game, you can predict when and where things will occur.

Consider a situation where you and your opponents have your armies close to each other, and you watch a high templar wander on toward your units. You KNOW a storm is incoming, or you can be pretty damn sure, and you can tell WHEN it's going to happen, since psionic storm has a fixed range, so you can be prepared and send your units off right before or right as the storm is cast.

Latency throws a wrench in the works, because even though you've dealt with your own reaction time, now it's like every unit has a reaction time that you have to deal with, and you need to plan further into the future than you're ready for. It's why microing mutalisks on ICCup is sooooo much easier than microing them on extra high battle.net latency, you have no fucking clue where everything's going to be by the time your commands go through.

The test is very one dimensional. It is only testing your ability to react to something your expecting, which would rarely be the case in SC. It would be nice if there were other elements of surprise invoved, so you weren't 100% sure what was coming. Maybe if they designed it so that if it was blue then you had to right click, but green means left click?

Something is flawed with this test, I get ~ 230 average with two different mice on my computer, but i get 170-180 every time on my brother's computer...

I've taken these tests before, I tended to do better on the ones with audio confirmation. My reaction time to visual stimuli seems to be about average, though.
