Plate Tapping: Males, Age 16

The Plate Tapping test (also called the alternating hand movement test or speed of limb movement test) is a Eurofit battery assessment of hand-eye coordination and motor speed. The participant alternately taps two circular plates 60 cm apart as fast as possible for 25 cycles (50 touches). Data are from Tomkinson et al. (2018), a pooled analysis of 148,093 European children and adolescents from 19 countries aged 9–17.

What these numbers mean for males aged 16

A score around 10.74 s is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. Times below about 9.92 s fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance (faster is better). Times above about 11.71 s fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population performed faster.

Percentiles show how common a value is, not whether it is healthy.
