Mine was kinda bad, I don't do well testing on speed reading and comprehension. I got really distracted. I only read at 349 wpm and my comprehension was 60% which was VERY bad.


I know they ask for your name and email address but they send you your results.

I've been a speed reader since I was 10 and read a book about it.

 

[Adre]

Somewhere around 800 wpm when I was tested in school. I've slowed down some.

 

[AllyRose]

Last I heard it was over 9,000.

 

[trysail]

As a kid, I read well over 460 wpm. People were impressed.

I've probably slowed down. A lot of my career involved reading and writing contracts and interpreting financial statements; that stuff is important (spelling, syntax, commas, semi-colons and dependent clauses) and you better get that shit right or it will cost actual CMH**.

I don't read for speed. I read for distance.

pretty fast

 

[Not Normal]

I read on the slow side. Its probably why I have so many unfinished books on the shelf.

Worst thing I ever did was learn speed-reading.
Now, I can read a book in half a day. But I tend to miss stuff and almost always go back and reread books.
And I run out of books all the time!

Uhhhh.... Unless you are talking Atlas Shrugged half a day is not speed reading.

Uhhhh.... Unless you are talking Atlas Shrugged half a day is not speed reading.

The last book I read was on Elizabeth 1. It is 1,450 pages. I am currently rereading it.

 

[Queersetti]

Faster than George RR Martin can write, that's for sure.

 

[about_average]

It's not about the speed, it's how you use your eyes.

Your average reading speed over this passage was 453 words per minute.

I scanned the page for the link " test your comprehension", which I assumed was a passage then a test, and clicked it Apparently I was supposed to read something first. LOL

 

[Wife of Bath]

I took the test. 883 wpm with 90% comprehension.

I've always liked taking tests.
