How fast do you read.....

Postby BlackheathBloke » Mon May 21, 2012 6:04 pm

....take this handy little test and find out.

Staples test

516 words per minute (with al 3 questions correct), which apparently makes me 106% faster than the national average (although I assume that's for the US, so not quite as impressive as it sounds :wink: )

Quite possibly sent from my Nexus 7 which cost 400 quid less than your iPad.

Blackheath,

I was one word behind you. But I only got two questions right.

Did you see what the world speed reading record is on the graph?!!!!

Yes, I was expecting to read that it was a computer reading speed but was amazed a human did it.

You read 671 words per minute.
That makes you 168% faster than the national average.

Blast. Thought that was my IQ.
