Dual n-back: how far do players get?
576 players have cleared dual n-back at 2-back or higher. Our leaderboard keeps each player's fastest clear rather than their highest level, so these shares are lower bounds.
| Cleared at least | Share of players |
|---|---|
| 3-back | At least 24% |
| 4-back | At least 11.5% |
| 5-back | At least 4% |
Median accuracy in clearing rounds: 89%.
Questions
- What is a good reaction time?
- On our test, under 300 ms is faster than about 84% of players, and the median is 369 ms.
- What is the average CPS?
- The median in our 5-second CPS test is 7.0 clicks per second. Most players fall between 5 and 9.
- Can I compare these with other sites, such as Human Benchmark?
- Only roughly. Each site uses its own rules, number of rounds and players, and devices add different delays, so the same person can score differently on each.
- Why use each player's best result?
- The leaderboard keeps one best result per player, so every player counts once. Best results are a little faster than typical attempts.
