So yesterday involved a preview, followed by a full photoread and 30 minutes of rapidreading. The book is certainly locking in and I am getting a good feel for the content.
Now when I woke up, something odd had happened. Yesterday I couldn’t remember the four temperament types. I could get three of them, but the fourth eluded me. As per the book I made a conscious effort to recall the missing temperament type.
Off I went to bed and this morning I picked up “The Art Of Speedreading People” to find the elusive temperament. However as I skipped through the pages describing the ones I already knew, I suddenly realised that I had gone through all four without seeing one — I didn’t know. Somehow I knew that information without knowing how I knew it. So it seems that this system works a bit like osmosis! Is it working? Well it seems to be but I need to keep going through the full five days to see. The photoreading book and the forum have been helpful in reminding me that the system works differently for everyone depending on their reading background.
Update:-
Well I posted a question on the learning strategies forum about whether this was a sign. It would appear that it is. It is a very wierd concept to know something that you didn’t know without knowing how you know, but at least I now know I know it works… Bonza! Anyway on with the next session.
