What counts as an action?

Each non-repeat keydown and each click counts as one action. Holding a key doesn't count.

Is this like gaming APM?

It's the same construct — actions per minute — measured openly rather than in a game.

How can I maximize it?

Mix rapid typing bursts with rapid clicks; any input counts.

APM

How many actions can you perform per minute?

~2 min

Measured values depend on your device, input method, display refresh rate, operating system and environment. This is not laboratory-grade measurement.

What this measures

APM measures the total keyboard and mouse actions you perform in 60 seconds — a direct benchmark of combined input throughput.

How it works

Perform any mix of typing, clicking and hotkey sequences for 60 seconds. Every keypress and click counts as one action.

How results are calculated

Your primary score is actions per minute over the 60-second window (higher is better), estimated against population norms.

Accuracy & limitations

Input device and technique affect results. This is a direct benchmark (Evidence C).
