The clicker challenge
Clicker games reward you for clicking a lot. This test keeps the fun part and adds a stopwatch. You get one large box and five seconds. Your first click starts the clock, every click after it counts, and when time runs out you get a score in clicks per second, a rating and the total number of clicks you made.
Then the obvious question: can you beat it?
Ways to make it a game
A single run is over before you know it, so the challenge comes from repeating it. A few ideas:
Beat your best. Your personal best appears with every result. Chasing it is the simplest game there is.
Climb the ratings. The ratings run from Slow under 4 CPS up through Average at 6 to 8.9, Fast at 11 to 13.9 and Exceptional at 14 or more. Moving up one band is a solid goal.
Raise your average. The Your scores panel shows your average and attempts. Pushing the average up is harder than setting one lucky best, and it means more.
Play with friends. Same kind of device, same number of tries, best average wins.
Your hand, not a program
This test exists to measure what your own hand can do. Auto clickers, which are programs or devices that click for you, defeat the purpose. A number produced by software says nothing about your speed, and it would sit in your history next to real runs and make the trend chart meaningless.
There is a wider reason too. Many game servers ban auto clickers outright, and players who use them on those servers risk losing access. If you are training for a game, train the hand you will actually play with. This page does not cover how to use auto clickers.
Keep the challenge safe
Clicking flat out for five seconds is fine for most people. Doing it fifty times in a row is not. Take short breaks between rounds and stop if your hand or wrist aches. Fast styles such as jitter clicking are especially tiring, so ease into them. The jitter click test page covers that style.
Once you have a feel for the five second challenge, try the CPS test 1 second version for a pure burst.
