eyeQ (increase your reading 2 to 10 times)

[sNyx]

Watching some crazy infomercial last night on this program called eyeQ. Apparently it claims to guarantee to increase your reading skills writing ONE session. Now being stoned and having semi-A.D.D I watched. Through simple reading games on a computer it teaches your eyes to move faster and your brain to comprehend quicker.

I threw it into google this morning and pulled up the web site. On which they had a free demo. I checked it out, you do a pre read for your current WPM (words per minute) then some tests and a post read for your progress. I went from 175 WPM to 215 WPM.

Hahaha, now as much BS as this could be. Try it out, see if anyone can prove it wrong. Hell, rock in improvement.

i have the program, u can just download the program.. if ur not constant in the program, ull end up losing speed.

[decypher]

there was a study saying that playing online video games did the same thing

[Dean]

whoa.... 284 to 379

i wonder if thats for real?

[shorerider]

650 to 808. Interesting, but looks like a good way to take the pleasure out of reading. and the baseball with the expanding rings fucking sucked. so did the 10000000 WPM wizard of oz section.

[*KeLLnEsS*]

Wow i went from 328 to 449

[Veni*C]

i so need that program.. i think i am one of the worlds slowest readers!!!!!

(i eat slow too... hmmm.. mabie i am just really slow....... or lazy. same thing.)

[shorerider]

^^Maybe you just lack focus ;)

[stringbeans]

haha my reading speed actually went down

[soma]

here's to the pot smoking a.d.d. children!

my name is bret and I am an example

[Dead Mike]

i cna only read if i al forced by gunpoint, or i actually find a book thats worth reading...when i would write exams, i would read the same question over and over not even thinking about what i was doing...then 10 minutes would pass and id snap out of htis trance i was in...still on the same question...id jus end up filling in the little dots on the sheet without even reading the questions....and thats how i graduated. haha GO READING!

[cheebus420]

I tried this shit out at my cousins, he's got all the books/videos/and tapes.

it just hurts your eyes and brain trying to actually compute that garbage.

[MissBehavior]

I went from 596 to 772...

Wtf...I knew I could read fast, but I had no idea I could read THAT fast.

[M!SKA]

well apparently mine went from 505 to 735. and now my eyes are so sore that they want to fall out of my skull.
the dorothy story was a joke. lol

[Dead Mike]

I couldnt follow that story at all! Maybe if I was a super reader..

[M!SKA]

Thats what I mean. It was impossible to read. haha
When it slowed down to 1500 I could just barely follow it.

[lithe]

777 to 809. i just got up from a nap though, so i think the exercises just kind of perked me up. the dorothy story only got to even remotely make sense @ 1000 wpm. oi.

[sNyx]

I couldnt follow it at all, I felt like an idiot. I think it made my eyeQ go down! :hehe:

not a huge fan of personal development eh?
mind you, maybe your so ugly that it could help.. j/k

[lithe]

it's all about skimming. i think skimming long, inane texts for the key words in order to make sense of it is something every arts uni student learns. i "read" the bible and the koran in a couple of hours this morning, pre-exam, and i'm about to start on a bunch of dry myth theorists. might as well just kill me now. :(

[Carrie]

i suck..

i went down.

[Moon]

hmmm 439 to 786

i wanna hit 2000!

[stringbeans]

i think the test is just using self-fulfilling prophecy

[mapleleaf4ever]

870 up to 974 wpm.... Go me.
