Reading speed
I have always suspected that I'm a fast reader, but never had any concrete proof. So today I took an on-line spead reading test at http://www.readingsoft.com/ (yes, it's a commercial site - they want to sell you their speed reading software).
According to their test, I read at 781 words per minute.
I took their comprehension test, and correctly answered 11 out of 11 questions.
These are the statistics they show:
Screen Paper Comprehension Reader profile
100 wpm 110 wpm 50% Insufficient
200 wpm 240 wpm 60% Average reader
300 wpm 400 wpm 80% Good reader
700 wpm 1000 wpm 85% Excellent, accomplished reader
(and yes, if I knew more about HTML, I'd put this into a table so it would line up nicely. I'm not an HTML expert. Deal with it.)
Guess I really am a freakishly good reader...
