Put the tape right at the muzzle of the barrel with the "wings" or the tape ends pointed up. Hold the rod at the handle and slowly pull the rod out until it rotates 360 degrees. Measure how far you drew the rod out from the barrel. I bet it will be about 9 inches. If so, you have a 1:9 twist.
+1, I was going to say the same thing, most likely a 1 in 9" twist.
