Reading Test

Postby PsychoDiablo » Sat Jul 14, 2007 6:10 pm

Take the Harvard Reading Test Below ...
This was developed as an age test by an R&D department at Harvard University . Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake. The average person over 40 years of age can't do it!

This is this cat
This is is cat
This is how cat
This is to cat
This is keep cat
This is an cat
This is old cat
This is person cat
This is busy cat
This is for cat
This is forty cat
This is seconds cat

Now go back and read the third word in each line from the top down.

Sounds like someone at Harvard has too much time on his/her hands ;-)

I read it with no problem and I turn 45 tomorrow ::)

I'll read it very slowly, like requested, one word or so a year. It should keep me chronically occupied for a half century or so.
:P
