The need for speed

How fast can you go? Reading, I mean – how quickly can you scan those words?
I think I’m a pretty fast reader – I finished the final Harry Potter in about 10 hours – but according to this test, I’m ranked just above an “average college student”! At 512 words per minute, that apparently makes me 105% faster than the American national average. Which I suppose isn’t too shabby!
It’s not all about how fast you are though – comprehension matters. So in Spanish I’d probably be well below the national average. What about you?
