Reading

Reading tests measure how fast you read in words per minute — but pair the speed with comprehension questions, because reading fast without understanding is just scrolling. Your efficiency score combines both, so skimming is caught and rewarded honestly.

Why It Matters

Adults typically read non-fiction at 200–250 WPM. Doubling your effective reading rate — speed times comprehension — is one of the highest-leverage skills available: it compounds across every document, article, and report you'll ever read. Measuring with comprehension keeps the gains real instead of cosmetic.
