Is Level 10 a good chimp test score?

A Level 10 chimp test score sits in the Elite tier โ€” faster than the vast majority of people who take a benchmark like this. This is the band you see in trained athletes, competitive gamers, and people who have spent years building reflex speed. Level 10 is the canonical Elite cutoff used in chimp test score benchmarks. Against the standard benchmarks, your Level 10 score is exactly at the Elite cutoff (Level 10), 2 levels ahead of the Fast cutoff (Level 8), and 4 levels ahead of the Average cutoff (Level 6). The neighboring indexed buckets are Level 8 (Fast) and Level 12 (Elite). Take the Chimp Test to see how your live performance compares.

Frequently asked questions

Is Level 10 a good chimp test score?

Yes โ€” Level 10 is in the Elite tier, comfortably above the average band (Level 6). Most untrained adults would not hit this on a typical attempt.

How does Level 10 compare to the average?

The Average threshold on the Chimp Test is Level 6. Your Level 10 is in the Elite band relative to that. Elite performers cross Level 10; Fast performers cross Level 8.

How can someone push past Level 10?

Consistent practice โ€” same environment, same time of day, same input device โ€” is the biggest lever. Take the Chimp Test a few times per week, sleep well, and watch how your score drifts toward the Fast (Level 8) and Elite (Level 10) thresholds over a few weeks.
