I've often suspected I read quite slowly as it often seems to take me longer than other people to read books or articles, or at least it seems that way to me. I've just taken a couple of online tests and got 209 wpm in the first and 223 wpm in the second. Apparently the average reading speed is about 200 wpm so it seems I'm not particularly slow, but not particularly exceptional either. So I thought I'd ask the literate bunch and CFC to do the same and see what you get.
Obviously I should probably link to an online test here, but the first I did was pretty much an advert for speed reading software so I probably shouldn't link to that, and the second had an annoying tendency to splice some words together rather likethis, making the text a bit harder to read. However, they're easy to find and if someone finds a particularly nice one then please post the link and I can try that one too.
