How Fast Do You Read?

korme · 07-31-2004, 01:04 AM

How Fast Do You Read? - You read between 250 - 300 words per minute. Above-average reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.

Danny · 07-31-2004, 01:12 AM

Holy moly, I read a lot more words than I would have thought.

You read between 400 - 450 words per minute. Well above average reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.

MrBug708 · 07-31-2004, 01:12 AM

You read between 500 - 550 words per minute. Very good reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.

---------

I knew that being a loner when I was younger was worth while. All I had to do was read....

BTW, that brownie recipe in this test really did sound good. I'll have to mix up a batch this weekend.

illinifan999 · 07-31-2004, 01:23 AM

I cant take this test, I skim everything I read. :/

korme · 07-31-2004, 01:32 AM

. i am a good reader. i actually read it, did not skim, did not click on a word furthur than i read. 400-500 my arse! i quit.

strait8 · 07-31-2004, 01:34 AM

When I was about 12, I was enrolled by my parents in an Evelyn Wood speed reading course.

I spent two afternoons per week at the class. After two years I was reading more than 5000 words per minute. This was more than 40 years ago.

I am not sure what my speed is today. It varies by the type of reading I do. If it is fiction, I read two-five novels per week. I usually can finish any paperback on a trans con plane flight. If they are technical, complex ideas or computer manuals I read significantly slower (probably 50%).

I find that my speed builds up as I read during a day. I think my comprehension is constant.

One of the down sides to this I have learned is that you must not be your own editor. When I write I tend to leave out words. If I do not read my work out loud my mind inserts those words. The process you learn is to see complete paragraphs rather than words. After a while the main points of the paragraph seems to be highlighted in bold print. The extraneous words are glossed over.

I know in Canada there is no more Evelyn Wood. I would have enrolled my children if there was. It is a great advantage that can be learned. You have the choice of reading a lot more, or finishing that much faster.

Suicane75 · 07-31-2004, 02:11 AM

I read 3000 words a minute, and Tommy Chong sure can deliver a moving Oscar acceptance speech i tell you what.

korme · 07-31-2004, 02:23 AM

You read between 91,824 - 3.67 bajillion words per minute. Previously unattainable reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you looked at the screen and teleported the words into a brain. Said brain is teh greatest. Thank you for participating, Reading Jesus.

You read between 600 - 650 words per minute. Extremely efficient reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.

Law school has done this to me

It does come in handy though...

Edit: I was going to say, if this was fiction it would be faster. More complicated stuff, especially with law and things that need to be recalled at a later date, obviously are read slower.

sabotai · 07-31-2004, 03:04 AM

You read between 150 - 200 words per minute. Basic reading ability. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.

I've always been a slow reader. Whenever I try to read faster (and even when I read at my normal pace), I end up missing words, changing words in my mind, flipping the order of words, etc. etc.

That's almost reading at ludicrous speed.

korme · 07-31-2004, 03:49 AM

Yep, if it is fiction or something I am remotely interested in, I might have cracked a bit higher.

I finished the article about 5 seconds before time was up. If it was something I was interested in I would probably have been even quicker.

You read between 850 - 900 words per minute.

Sounds about right, I have always been an very fast reader.

A lot of you guys must keep the speed setting for PBP on FOF to max then.

450-500 words per minute (above average) - doesn't surprise me too much, I regularly read a book in an evening .... I've always been a voracious reader...

I also took a speed reading class when I was younger and was clocked at about 2,000 words per minute with a 70-80% comprehension level. Needless to say, I finished the statement before the time was up (albeit it was close).

What are you supposed to do if you finish the passage? I got done with about 5 seconds left. I think I skimmed a little, though...not exactly material that interests me a ton.

I got the virtual speed reader one (like 800-950 WPM).

Not that I'm accusing anyone specifically, but when I saw this post my first thought was "I bet the first person reports an above average score, with each subsequent person reporting a higher and higher score until people start claiming they broke the test".

Shorty, if it makes you feel any better I'm a pretty good reader, took the test without cheating, and have no desire to impress strangers on a message board. I got the same score as you.

Now if it had been written in that gangsta language you're always talking in, I probably would have scored about a 3.

sabotai · 07-31-2004, 03:18 PM

It always amazed me how people could read so fast. I read all the time, but the speed of my reading has stayed the same. Any guides or something to help imporve reading speed? I don't need to read 2000 words a minute, but doubling my time would make it so much better. It usually takes me a long time to read a novel. Usually a few weeks (of an hour or two of reading a night). Sometimes I've read a novel in a few days, but that was reading all day long.

Vince · 07-31-2004, 03:31 PM

I don't know how I got to read so fast...I've never taken any speed reading courses or anything. I absolutely devoured books as a kid though. I got yelled at during language arts classes because I'd have a fictional novel under my desk that I was reading while the teacher was lecturing. I stayed up late at night with a flashlight under my covers reading constantly. I ALWAYS had some kind of book to read.

Alf · 07-31-2004, 04:36 PM

You read between 350 - 400 words per minute => that was reading the novel. The JFK articke was much more difficult for me.

I usually read a novel in 2 days (ask my wife how amazon.com is making a nice profit with me

)

Oh, and I usually read French, English needs a little bit more effort.

jeff061 · 07-31-2004, 05:12 PM

400-450. I read a decent amount of books as a kid, nothing spectacular though. I did learn to read(for whatever reason) a year or two before most kids do. Maybe that carried on a bit.

Celeval · 07-31-2004, 05:58 PM

800-850. Always read a lot, never took a class.

yabanci · 07-31-2004, 07:07 PM

I'm curious how many of these speed readers can answer these simple questions after doing their "test" (without cheating, of course):

According to Kennedy in his inaugural address in 1961:

1. What are we celebrating today?

2. What revolutionary beliefs are still at issue around the globe?

3. How is the new generation of Americans defined?

4. What should every other nation know about America?

5. What do we pledge to our allies?

6. What do we pledge to newly independent states?

7. What do we pledge to struggling third world countries?

8. What do we pledge to the nations of Central and South America?

9. What do we pledge to the United Nations?

10. What do we request of our adversaries?

Anybody who read that speech should be able to answer each of these questions without any problem whatsoever.

same score, and I'm exactly the same way. people who can read a book in a day amaze me. it takes me 3 or 4 to read a novel, and that's if I really am focused on finishing it.

Got 350-400 on JFK, 400-450 on Willa Cather (I hated that piece). Faster than I thought. My wife is a speed merchant, though. She can plow through books that would take me a long time to read.

yabanci College Benchwarmer Join Date: Jun 2003	I'm curious how many of these speed readers can answer these simple questions after doing their "test" (without cheating, of course): According to Kennedy in his inaugural address in 1961: 1. What are we celebrating today? 2. What revolutionary beliefs are still at issue around the globe? 3. How is the new generation of Americans defined? 4. What should every other nation know about America? 5. What do we pledge to our allies? 6. What do we pledge to newly independent states? 7. What do we pledge to struggling third world countries? 8. What do we pledge to the nations of Central and South America? 9. What do we pledge to the United Nations? 10. What do we request of our adversaries? Anybody who read that speech should be able to answer each of these questions without any problem whatsoever.

Raven Hawk College Starter Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Thunderdome	I'll be the chump. I'm a slow reader (or according to this test, average.) 200-250 for me. I guess I should stop looking for typos and punctuation errors. __________________ Owner of The Shreveport Pride in The CFL

Wolfpack Pro Rookie Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Raleigh, NC	Got 350-400 on JFK, 400-450 on Willa Cather (I hated that piece). Faster than I thought. My wife is a speed merchant, though. She can plow through books that would take me a long time to read.
