About Human Benchmark
Testing cognitive abilities shouldn't require a lab coat or a PhD.
How It Started
Back in the early days of the internet, cognitive testing was either buried in academic journals or locked behind expensive software. We thought that was backwards. Your brain is the most important tool you have—why shouldn't testing it be as easy as checking your email?
Human Benchmark started as a simple idea: take the tests that psychologists and researchers use, strip away the jargon, and make them available to anyone with a browser. No signup required. No fees. Just you, your brain, and a timer.
What We Actually Do
We build tests that measure specific cognitive abilities. Reaction time. Memory capacity. Visual processing. Each test is designed to give you a number—a baseline. From there, you can practice, improve, or just satisfy your curiosity about where you stand.
The tests aren't games dressed up as science. They're based on established research protocols, adapted for the web. When you get a score, it means something. You can compare it to past attempts, see if you're improving, and measure yourself against millions of other people who've taken the same test.
Why This Matters
Most people never get feedback on how their brain actually performs. You might feel sharp or sluggish on a given day, but you don't have data. We think everyone deserves access to that information.
Gamers use our tests to measure and improve their reflexes. Students use them to gauge attention span. Older adults track cognitive decline. Researchers cite our anonymized data in papers. The platform works because it's simple and it's honest about what it measures.
Your Data Stays Yours
All your scores are stored locally in your browser. We don't track who you are. We don't sell your information. If you clear your browser data, your scores disappear—that's it.
We do collect anonymous performance data in aggregate to improve our benchmarks and understand how different tests perform. But there's no account, no email, no profile. You're just another data point in a very large, very anonymous dataset.
