WTF --> WORLD READING CHAMPION 4700 WORDS PER MINUTE???

You read 426 words per minute.
That makes you 70% faster than the national average

i could read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy in 24 hours and 32 minutes! :D

528 per min

There is no point in reading fast, seriously.

It's better to read very very slow, and understand 100% of what you are reading. And have data retention of every piece of word you read.

Saying "I read 520 words per minute" is pretty useless and probably for ignorant idiots to be honest.

PERIOD.

You read 537 words per minute.
That makes you 115% faster than the national average.

Agree.
That being said:
"Nice work! You read 185 words in 25 seconds."
:1orglaugh

Totally untrue. Most of us only keep a small percent of what we read anyways.

kind of depends what your reading too.. i can scan a page retain the message and the numbers in a second on a news page, but if it's something i'm not familiar with there's no way i could do that and I'd slow down to a crawl to assure retention.

it's not how fast you read, it's what you are reading and what you retain from it.

Did you do really badly on the test or have you just got sand in your vagina?

People can read fast and retain the information that is necessary. It is pointless to retain every word you read.

:2 cents:, or read every word.

Cool test i got 422 WPM

I'm a reader, not a parasite ...

You read 409 words per minute.
That makes you 64% faster than the national average.
And English is not my native language :))

I should have taken the test on a computer, noted a three.inch phone.

Is it bettet to read fast or slow? I'd say math books, read very slow to fully understand. Biographies I read very fast - a couple of sessions in the bathroom. I'd rather read four books with 85% recall than one book with 95% recall. Especially if it's a story of some sort, history, biography, etc. I could completely skip 10% of the words and still know what they must have said for the story to make sense. Also self help type books trends to be repetitive. "The Secret" is one sentence repeated three hundred times, so you can skim it and you're not missing anything.

I read slow, masturbate a bit and read again enjoying every word.

Fast capturing the words doesn't mean you have a clue of what you just read lol

You read 172 words per minute.

Most successful people read quickly. Not making this up. It makes sense if two people are doing the same thing and one person can do it in quicker time, that this is more successful or preferred.
