I took one of the tests, in the OP. It said that I'm a slow reader, but I have good comprehension, as I got all the questions correct. I'd rather have that result, than the opposite (having poor comprehension).

I read those 700+ page Harry Potter books, in less than 2 days, though----so, I DEFINITELY think it depends-on one's actual interest (read, "obsession" LOL) in the material!
