    I missed one and had to click twice one. I was faster when it didn't have the six dots, but was in the 'random' single dot positioning. Also, I was faster after a little warm up, so...

    25 1/2 now, it guessed 29. Interestingly, it guessed 29 on my second try too, although I actually messed up a couple times extra due to almost being a bit... overeager?... to click faster.

    Seems it's guessing everyone is 29 or 30.

    Oh good, I thought that I was just shitty with the mouse. It said I was 29 when I'm really 25.

    It's just rating the touchpads, higher the score shitty it is. ;)

    I think it said specifically that it's not for touchscreens devices.

    Am 25 and it guessed 30 for me, was using desktop plus mouse. Did misclick a few times but was pretty fast all things considered.

    I took it again, got 29. Then did it once more while deliberately taking twice the time and it said 25. o_O

    30, I'm 24. Also play SC2/Dota 2 quite a lot.

    That was with making sure my mouse was on the dot before clicking.

    Second time I did it was clicking quite a lot, as you do in Dota/Sc2, and it guessed I was 27.

    All in all, I'd say this in not working right now. :p

    One more for the 'it-says-I-am-29-when-I-am-not' pile. I'm 24.

    Scored 28/36 for the social intelligence one.

    It gave me 48...I'm 22 and I didn't miss any clicks. Though I'm using an old laptop, that slowed me down a bit.

    I don't know how this test works, but it sure doesn't judge based on accuracy/speed.

    I did the first one with my desktop sensitivity, which is reasonably high and I was flicking everywhere, missing, making weird little twirls. (I had no idea my cursor control was this bad on desktop) I was given 27 as my age.

    I did the second one with my FPS sensitivity. Deathly low, but still quick cursor movement due to lots of hand movement, very straight, precise lines. I only misclicked once in the entire test... 30.

    Fuck knows how this works.

    Worked pretty well for me. Said I was 32, and I'm 34.
