Abstract
Since most reading tests have time limits, their scores are clue both to comprehensive ability and to speed of reading. In this experiment a time limit test and a no time limit test are analyzed to determine the relative importance of each of these variables. Although the usual clinician or teacher uses a reading test score primarily as a measure of comprehensive ability, a critical analysis indicates that speed of reading determines these scores more than comprehensive ability. The length of the test as a fatigue factor was also found to determine the type of reading a person does.
