Reading Speed Test. Oh, interesting! Have a go; it only takes a minute.As soon as I saw the questions, I cursed. I read very fast, but I suck at retaining the little details. (The Internet has turned me into a skimmer.) I scored 612 wpm, which is 145% faster than the national average. However, I only got 2/3 of the questions right. As I expected, the Snook scored slower than me but he got them all correct.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

500 WPM here, but I got all three questions correct…
Yeah, I only got 496 wpm, but all the questions right
Do you think you could still answer the questions a day later? Also, what colour was the sky?
Oh dear god. I have only the vaguest idea of what the passage was about now.
Do you read to retain? I can if I try, but it requires effort. If I tried to retain everything I read, my head would asplode.
