Mine was pretty good for someone who's had a few drinks (on my second glass of wine).

765wpm.

I've taken similar tests before and can get around 1000wpm+ on technical, informational, and non-fiction text.
I read pretty goddamn fast. Always have.

why do you score two times different, if you did it once, the second time you will be faster of course, i think it should be done only once, i was excited so i did worse then i could if i were in normal state, my brain was kinda blocked so i didnt memorised all of it, because i had pressure to score, but on the questions i passed with 2 out of 3 correct answers

You read 482 words per minute.
That makes you 93% faster than the national average.

You read 417 words per minute.
That makes you 67% faster than the national average.

I was listening to a Hardcore song while doing it (and I smoked a joint like 15 minutes ago). I don't know if this subconsciously slows you down.

I am too dumb to post it :confused:
At least this is the result of me copying the html as in instruction.

Anyway I know that I read much faster in English than Polish (diacritical marks & digraphs force you to slow down).

You read 534 words per minute.
That makes you 114% faster than the national average.

Pft. It's my second language too. And I was also doing this while I was half asleep and my dog was chewing on my thumb. Yup. :rolleyes:

I was also drunk and blindfolded while taking this test (like that IQ test on which I scored 200) and I still managed to read 354% faster than average, you know what? I think I'm just a genius or something, because my mind obviously works insanely fast! I wouldn't be surprised if I have the highest IQ in the world!
