What's your reading speed?

[Omni314]

Well at a time in my life I hadn't read for a few years and then I tried to start reading again, it was a bit of a struggle to get up to any kind of reasonable speed but these days I have a reading speed of 260 wpm and a comprehension of 58%. What's your reading speed? And comprehension if you want to do that as well?

Spoiler :

Yeah, I cheated though. I only read the first couple paragraphs, got bored, and stopped it so I could take the comprehension test.

You people are a bunch of cheaters.

Yes, but I feel justified in skipping the last paragraph because I was scrolling down with a touchpad.

651, 83%; a lot of those answers you can get just by guessing. The site is trying to sell their reading software BTW.

It's not my fault that I can not read something, and understand it as well as you.

4868 wpm, 91% comprehension, but I have a feeling that the timer did something buggy, because that time is almost physically impossible, and my normal speed on physical tests is around 1500-2000.

738 WPM, 82% Comprehension. I think he was calling BS on your average of 1500-2000wpm. Somehow I doubt your in the area of 30 words per second (1800wpm) too.
