Are you a speed reader? (Link to quiz)
I'd like a redo - I got 444 words per minute, which puts me at your average college student level. But I've always been an uber fast reader; I read the entire Dragon Tattoo series in 2 weeks.
Try it out, if you have a hankering:

Yes, apparently.
You read 1,004words per minute.
That makes you 302% fasterthan the national average.
Updated September 2012.
404 and to be honest, I don't really know what I read.
The world speed reading champion scares me. A lot.

and here I thought I was a slow reader.
ooo... I took it a second time (almost same results) and it was from Alice in Wonderland. I need to search and see what the first test was from.
ETA: That was easy. It's from War of the Worlds.
484 and while I got all three questions right, I really didn't comprehend anything I read. And I read quickly but I guess not that quickly.
Dammit!
You read 936 words per minute.
That makes you 274% faster than the national average.

I guess I do read fast.
You read 1,027 words per minute.
That makes you 311% faster than the national average.
And I thought I was fast. Jerks!
You read 730 words per minute.That makes you 192% faster than the national average.
Nope. But I didn't really need a test to tell me that. I was rather surprised to see I'm 43% faster than the national average.
757 words per minute which is faster than 215% of the general population.
705, which I think was 170% above national average, around college professor level.
I have to say, though, it depends what I'm reading. I get bogged down by some books, and not always the ones I expect.
40/112
Above Us Only Sky
You read 1,126 words per minute.
That makes you 350% faster than the national average.
That's fairly accurate cause I did read some of those books in the time they said (e.g. Harry Potter Book #1 in 1 hour, Wuthering Heights in 1 1/2 hours).
Of course, these days I'm lucky to get 15 minutes of uninterrupted reading time....

You read 1, 246 words per minutes. That makes you 398% faster than the national average.

I guess so...
You read 1,495 words per minute.
That makes you 498% faster than the national average.
I do read really fast, and always have. I did some speed reader test when I was in 5th grade, but my memories of the whole thing are really vague. When I'm on a reading kick, I can read several books a week. Sometimes I'll read a book in an evening, depending on what it is and how interested I am. I'm also able to tune basically anything out if I want to read, which is why I have to be careful about reading when I'm with the kids or the kids are up. I don't want to ignore them and tune them out so I can read (well, not all the time...).
775.
I'll take it.
859 before I've fully woken up. Good enough for my pride. I'd be curious to see if it changes once my coffee is brewed.
Sometimes I try to read more slowly b/c I get all sad when a good book is over. However, reading fast allowed me to get through some pretty boring textbooks.
You read 890 words per minute.
That makes you 256% faster than the national average.
Not too bad. My Kindle orders page definitely reflects the speed at which I read--I tend to read one average sized novel (300-400pages) a day on my commute (about 90min roundtrip). I'm going to read Atlas Shrugged again this week, I think I'll keep track of how long it takes.
