Title: Typing Speed
Post by: Bakster on March 05, 2006, 04:40:20 PM
I went on www.typingtest.com recently and took a few tests.

My average was around 75 words per minute with an average accuracy of around 95%.

This website provides four different texts of increasing difficulty.

I took tests on the 3 most difficult ones, so my speed might be a tad higher, and I didn't know that you couldn't correct typos once you had finished a word which resulted in me wasting time bashing the backspace button.

Before you answer the poll, take at least 3 tests using different texts and time lengths. I found out after a 3 minute test that your typing gradually gets worse if you type quickly for a long time.

Good Luck!

I took the least difficult test (it contains a lot of big words but I found it easier than the others) and got 80 WPM with 97% accuracy.

You're a pretty fast typer.
But when would you ever need to type text that you see on the screen in front of you? And if you are just typing what you want then you type much faster.

The WPM of this test will be proportional to your normal typing speed, unless you're a touch typist like me ;D

Most I ever typed in a min was done in school, in 9th grade against my computer teacher. I typed 138 words in a minute and she type 106. I will never forget the look on her face.

ya, well, think of it this way, in there eyes.

now, i obviously dont know how she (he?) died, but im gonna just assume she was crushed by a ice sculpture of a 40 ft hamster, thrown by the incredible hulk.  now, she died instantly, since the hamsters tooth impailed her head, but my dad has been slowly dieing/suffering for about 6 years
