There is time pressure in this test.

335 first time through... took a little bit to figure out you need to shoot them if they are holding a gun... not necessarily pointing it at you.

That's great, Howard.

It's a much longer test than I would have thought, it was easy to get lazy or distracted near the end.

Scored 710

Got one unarmed fella and was too slow on one with a cell phone so lost points on both

The 2nd time around I just went ahead and shot them all.

Final score was -540.

Great reaction time, though!

Better safe than sorry, right SnubbieK? LOL!

Pretty cool... I got 750 (no wrong shots) (second time through though). Due to the fact that it keeps track of reaction time between white and black subjects it must be part some study along the lines of predisposition due to race. The two times I did the test my reaction times flip flopped based on the color of the subjects. My lowest reaction time for a catagory was 593.92 (taking shot) and longest time for a catagory was 669.12 (holstering firearm).

This test was put together by A.C.O.R.N. at the request of the new administration. It is being monitored closely.

The availability of money for your next home loan from the new, government-controled, banking system will be largely dependent on those reaction times.

I did better the first time 860 with the slowest reaction at .568. Second time was only 395 and reaction all the way into the 7's

Good little deal... I got distracted by my movie and stopped; thought I could finish it in what was left of the commercials... NOPE. I'll have to do it again... all the way through this next time!

Sure isn't brief!

First time, I got 340. Took a while to figure out what they wanted me to do. It seems to be just a test to see if you can tell the difference between a gun and a cell phone. You don't know until the end that they're testing whether you shoot people based on their skin color.

So I took the test again, and the first thing I looked at was what was in the person's hand, after that I noticed how they were dressed (irrelevant to getting a high score) and the person's skin color (also irrelevant) and the setting (also irrelevant). I was doing way better but didn't get a chance to finish.

I also didn't find the test a realistic shoot/don't shoot test, given that we don't know if the person with the gun is a good guy who just shot a BG, an undercover cop, or what. The test did not take that into account.

So to me, it's just a video game.

Interesting. On the first pass my fingers wanted to be confused as all get out, but it was worth the try.

Maybe I 'll qualify for one of those A.C.O.R.N. loans Snubby K mentioned. ;D It didn't do it enough to try a second time though. Maybe if it was a point and shoot Wii or some such.
