Well, proven !! Aaron has a better attention span than me. Mind you, I wonder if at my age, it would be the same. I think thats a really cool exercise and hope other users try it.

565 WPM (i skim read bloody fast though and took very little in)
comprehension 64% (A lot was pretty obvious).

I redone the WPM and took the info in acquiring 521 WPM which surprised me to be honest. Its the speed i read reviews on a subject that interest me little. If it is a gaming review i imagine is would be more of a 300 WPM or 200WPM maybe.

I felt I read a LOT slower than I normally do ( I didnt want to fail the test!!)

It's funny, for years I have read papers and wondered ho much I actually take in, and on the face of it, possibly not a lot..! EQually those same reading and comprehension skills earned me an MBA yet if I read a review in under a minute, someone might say I skimmed...!!!
