I couldn't get past the first word... I guess that means I scored a 1.

Ok, I tried it again this time. Apparently my problem last time was that I was accidentally looking at the calendar hanging up on my wall instead of at my monitor. This time I got 10,000 WPM. I read like Johnny 5.

You read between 350 - 400 words per minute. Well above average reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.
