Read the colors aloud (not the meaning of the words).
Note that it is the same list of words but written in different color.

Do you notice it takes twice the amount of the time to complete the second test?
The above demonstration does not even take into account the incorrect responses in naming the colors.
The reaction time will increase with fatigue and/or inattention to the task, so if you retake the test, it will show slightly different reaction times and error rates.
