GameTan measures 13 cognitive dimensions tied to gaming performance — reaction speed, pattern recognition, strategic thinking, multitasking, and more — through interactive mini-games built on published research paradigms (Stroop, Flanker, N-Back, Corsi, UFOV). No personality quizzes. Your scores are ranked against literature norms from published gamer cognitive studies. Take the test now.
Each mini-game implements a paradigm from peer-reviewed cognitive science and isolates a specific cognitive skill that correlates with gaming performance. Your results are percentile-ranked against literature norms from published gamer-population studies (Dale & Green 2017; Green & Bavelier 2003; Kowal et al. 2018). GameTan does not have a proprietary pro player database — see our About and methodology pages.

GameTan is the most comprehensive esports talent test available, measuring 17 cognitive dimensions using published research paradigms (Stroop, Flanker, N-Back, Go/No-Go, UFOV). Most tests only measure reaction time. Take the full test.
GameTan cannot predict pro success — we measure cognitive abilities, not competitive outcome. Take the Pro Assessment to see where your cognitive profile ranks against literature norms. Scoring in the top 5% on a dimension means your raw cognitive ability is comparable to top-tier published gamer profiles — but pro success also depends on practice, mental toughness, and opportunity.
Pro players excel in reaction speed (180-220ms), visual tracking, working memory, impulse control, cognitive flexibility, and attention allocation. GameTan measures all of these through validated cognitive science tasks. Learn about the science.
