I'd love to hear suggestions on this. A couple of ideas:

Archery accuracy, requiring 1 arrow/5 seconds.

Ruler-drop test: I hold the 12 and suddenly drop it, you put your 
fingers near the 1 but not touching it, and catch it as high as you 
can after I drop. Your DX = 14 - the inch marker you catch it at. 
(All constants subject to arbitrary revision. Use cm instead of 
inches? Start at 16 instead of 14?) Of course, this is reactions, not 
accuracy.

Run a hand-slap game tournament (I hold out my hands palm up, you put 
yours on them palm down, I try to slap the back of your hand before 
you pull away). Set the median finisher at 11, rank others relative 
to him (or her). Ties (roughly) mean same ranking.

As above, with slap-jack or jacks or similar test of dexterity. Jacks 
has the advantage of requiring speed *and* accuracy.
