Interesting self-test website, to see how rapidly you can read/recognize words.

Trying late at night when I'm tired, I can do about 1x21, or 2x15 pretty easily.

that page is kinda flawed cus traditional speed reading programs teach people to read line by line not word for word
im actually taking a speed reading class right now
can get around 1000 wpm during training programs, 800-900 in actual novel reading
got 24 with this one but it's not really indicative of true speed reading

I read really fast, generally i'm able to finish 3 400 page books in one day. However on that site I was only able to do 1x16 and 2x12. The flashing in and out is hard for me to follow after that point.

i hit about the same. comfortable is about 4 steps down. both me and mar took speed reading courses in school. I took it over me summer vacation one year. Took me a shit ton of lawn jobs and gunsmithing jobs to pay for that one and my first computer class.
