A jitterclick test is a type of keyboarding exercise used to measure a person's ability to quickly and accurately type using the mouse. It is commonly used to assess skills in activities involving the use of a computer mouse, such as online gaming or computer programming. The test typically involves a participant attempting to move the mouse cursor (or "click") as rapidly as possible while making sure to hit the designated target areas.
The jitterclick test was first developed in 2003 by Chris Cheung, a user experience researcher and lecturer at the City University of Hong Kong. In addition to being used for assessment purposes, it has become popular among gamers who use it to gauge and improve their own gaming skills. Cheung's original version required users to click on randomly generated green circles that appear on the screen within 5 seconds, although this can be changed depending on one's objectives. The challenge for those taking the test is not only clicking quickly but also accurately so as not to miss any targets altogether.
For users interested in taking part in a jitterclick test, there are plenty of online programs available including "JitterClick", "RapidMouse" and many others; some sites offer mobile versions as well. A Google search will show multiple options which may include different variations requiring varied levels of accuracy or speed. Programs generally provide feedback after completion with results listed based on percentage score and time taken in completing each round within 200 clicks range.
