How fast do you type ?

[sdedalus83]

61 WPM, no errors on my crappy little laptop keyboard.

77 WPM, no errors on my logitech wave.

When I have to worry about punctuation and capitalization I do about 75.

[mgz]

yea my big thing that kept me down ALOT was every time dont came up ide have to go back and correct it to don't

[fohfoh]

So, ANYONE got anywhere near ~200WPM? Apart from our World Record Holder Tomoyo?

I would love to see the face of the employer who looks at that resume during job interview.

How would he know? He could type at 100 WPM (I've witnessed up to 137 wpm before) and the employer wouldn't know unless he took a test. Like damn... 137 wpm was like.... furious typing (no errors either)

No. I can't type that fast myself. It was someone I knew who had NO LIFE and actually PRACTICED 3 years of her Jr High School life to achieve that. (She was a computard too. Not a nerd)

There's no point to typing super fast any more.

The old days of secretaries needing to type fast to copy documents or enter data are long gone, today we have OCR systems and photocopiers for that kind of purpose.

The hell if I know why she bothered doing it. According to her, she would take hours each day after school to type out pages of a textbook. She's a nut. I haven't spoken to her in years.

hehehehehe awwwww well you know to much to fool. i couldnt even be bothered doing the test.

[Semnae]

313 cpm
59 wpm
0 wrong

I admit, I needed to warm up first.  This is what I got on my second try.  I do ok with words, but I am always much slower and have to look at the keyboard when typing numbers.

[c614h2]

83 and 2 errors. Doesn't seem like a whole lot of variety in the words though, should be able to get it higher with some practice and a non-suck desk.

[lithanas]

slow...

between 30 - 40 or something like that (wpm)

[NaRu]

I get about 55 wpm on the test buy if I wasn't typing random words I could type about 75 wpm

Meh, not too bad I guess... considering I'm using a pain in the a$$ laptop keyboard. And usually I type way slower, about 16 WPM. So I guess it doesn't matter that I'm a slow typer

Ow yeah, the 16 WPM is for reports and essay's (time for making graphs, pictures, layout, etc. included).

You type 342 characters per minute
You have 61 correct words and
you have 2 wrong words

I agree with what others said. A) I correct my typing to much during the test. B) I seem to have trouble hitting space bar earlier. and C) these words aren't flowing. There's no logic behind them. It's hard to type stuff out when they're just random. It's easier to remember a sentence and flow through it then to remember a set of random words.

[PowerMac]

You type 224 characters per minute
You have 37 correct words and

37WPM, I know im nowhere near the fastest here.

[houkouonchi]

As others have said I definitely could do better if it wasn't a bunch of random crap:

410 points, so you achieved position 13815 of 1323586 on the ranking list


You type 519 characters per minute
You have 96 correct words and
you have 0 wrong words

[Temuthril]

560-570 characters per minute
~100 correct words
1-3 wrong words

Averaging around 100 wpm.

[beechan2]

Without my glasses on ( seeing what the words are )

You type 298 characters per minute
You have 57 correct words and
you have 0 wrong words

With my glasses on

You type 307 characters per minute
You have 54 correct words and
you have 0 wrong words

Dang... used to be a heck of a lot faster. I haven't had a reason to be a fast typer in the past 10 years because of change in jobs, so I've slowed down quite a bit ( I think I was around 330 CPM back when I was an office temp ).

Ah well!

( just tried it again...
You type 322 characters per minute
You have 56 correct words and
you have 2 wrong words

So I'm still averaging somewhere around 55 wpm )

[Temuthril]

EDIT: Ah, you confessed already. Nevermind.

[fohfoh]
