It can increase your responce times (reduce the amount of time you take to react) but will actually reduce your ability to think clearly. Adrenaline is released durring your fight or flight responce to danger. No help in thinking. Great for helping you run faster or fight harder.

No, but adrenaline does give you the temporary ability to do superhuman things. In a life and death situation the average man can bench press 1200lbs. Too bad every gym class isn't a near life and death situation...lol

I don't think so.

But it might appear to do so, by making you temporarily more decisive, for example.
