Reading Test: how fast are you?

First off, I want to offer my apologies for not posting here more often.  It doesn’t feel as if I have neglected you for a couple months but indeed this is the case.

I found a basic reading test this morning which gives you page of text, asks three basic comprehension questions and then ranks you against the national (US) average.

It’s not a perfect test since the text is so short but it is kind of fun.  Let us know how fast you read.

How fast do you read?

Well, 614 wpm, apparently. How about that? Thanks for sharing the link!

Funny test. Thanks for sharing.

I clocked in at a blazing 177 wpm, which makes me slower than a fifth-grader, despite my being an nth-year PhD student at Fancy-Pants U. (This may help illuminate why I'm an nth-year PhD student rather than Dr. Slowpoke. At least I answered all of the questions correctly!)
