How to Test Your Reactions:

The Ruler Test

What: Tests basic reaction time.

How: Have a partner hold a ruler vertically a few feet in front of you at chest level. Position your thumb and index finger on either side of the bottom of the ruler without touching it. When your partner drops the ruler, catch it between your fingers, noting the distance it falls. The shorter the distance, the faster you’ve reacted.

You can repeat every few weeks after reaction training and see if you improve!
