Speed reading... how fast are you?

[Mesquite]

Interesting test if you fancy seeing how fast you can read

I scored in the mid 700's in the tests I took

Try it here

 

[Toddy]

810 words per minute, and I got all three questions right

Fun

cheers,

454, 700 is really very good

 

[Tony]

heck, I got all three questions right as well, although i did read it at my normal reading speed with no rushing , 800 words/minute.......nerd

 

[Ogri the trog]

Not even going there - I have to read things several times to digest any meaning from written passages

I actually think that I'm developing a unique form of dyslexia!

654 and all three right. Dementia still being kept at bay, but much slower than when in academe.

 

[Peteo]

You read 3,147 words per minute.
That makes you 1,159% faster than the national average.

And 3 questions right? It cannot be accurate !

 

[ex-member Raikey]

789, 592, 956,

decent but not consistant ,.....

but i,m sat at work full of coffee

have just finished building a powerpoint pres with the monthly figures for a meeting tomorrow and proof read it about 7 times,

i reckon i,m probably just in the zone, and in the right enviroment / frame of mind???

 

[sasquatch]

Ha ha, 345 on the first page for me but all three questions right. Slower than slow but I already knew that...

 

[Toddy]

It's not consistant, even increasing the number of paragraphs to maximum, and answering extra questions (six right) and changing the book, my score increased too.
I actually got it up to 1256 at one attempt.
Alice in Wonderland at maximum size paragraphs I got 962, which apparantly means I could read War & Peace in 10 hours 10 minutes.......I'd need to be helluva bored or I could 12.7 books on my Sony Reader before I needed to recharge it

I have to admit I hated having to read at the same time as everyone else when I was in school I don't think it's an intelligence thing (look at Dyslexic's, far from thick) I think it's a knack/ability. I'm good at mental arithmatic too, it just made things a bit easier in school, though I'd hope that modern education would take account of the differing abilities of individuals in a way that it didn't for my generation. I can still have blindingly stupid moments

cheers,
Toddy

 

[boatman]

845 first time and all three questions, 1100 and something with three questions right second time.

 

[John Fenna]

Hmmm - I scored in the high 600s - kinda slow...but I had to scroll the page to find the "finish" button
I am not slow but my computer is!

 

[outdoorpaddy]

I got 208, 17% lower than the national average apparently, I suppose that's why I am awarded 25% extra time in my exams. Speaking of which, I have my technology AS re-sit tomorrow, I better get back to work!
cheers for the link,
