What's your typing speed?

I ask because I just got back from taking a typing test (among other tests) at a temporary employment agency and my final result was...

Over 5 Minutes, 106 WPM, 0% errors

(yes, I mainly made this topic to brag. but you may as well post your speed too so this topic isn't completely worthless)

Better then any of my friends/relatives but that really means nothing because none of them are antisocial hacker-tan gaining freaks like me. I'm sure if I compared myself to you lot, I'd be pretty average .

I'm not that fast at typing but I say I do pretty good. I'll get around 40-50 WPM

[ink]

I can hit 156 WPM in a 5 minute period with 0% error, but over 210 with usually around 5% error.

[Rikku]

Over 3 mins i got 92 words with 10% error... yeah i know i make lots of typos but oh well, i'l get better.

[Kane]

o.0.. I used to be 32 wpm... lol 100 wpm + is insane.

I'd think about calling guinness and challenging their world record then <-- click

My typing speed is okay, but I have waaay too many typos for looking at the keyboard when I type. :X

[sasquatch]

Wow how did you guys get so good? I can do about 60 wpm and that is with a few errors here and there. Damn I couldn't even type this post without screwing up a few times.

Dude, but look at the time! 150 wpm for 50 min! 50 MINUTES!!! I could never do that, I get burned out and I would eventually make an error at least 10 minutes. Not to mention, most tests aren't the same, I type based on actual words that I know, kind of like separated symbols rather than separated characters, so the one test I took at school could be different from yours. Not to mention she did it with Dvorak, which is a lot harder to initially learn.

If you look at it, technically with close variations of words showing up within a 5 minute period it shouldn't be that hard. Plus I probably couldn't hit my record again if I tried.

(I do go through keyboards very very very fast... This Apple keyboard has been hitting its last run, the S key is beginning to cease function.)

30 wpm, i kinda suck, heh.

EDIT: Now what would be interesting would be arrangements of natural linguistic characters assembled in odd or tricky chains measured by correct character impressions per minute. That would really show skill.

[SupermanFTM]

Yeah...that's exactly what I was thinking...*cough*

I usually get 60-80 wpm. I haven't tested in a long while, so I'm not sure anymore, if anything I'd think it went up though

[Magma]

I don't know my exact word per minute, but i'm sure it would be around 50 with lots of errors... plus i peck type.. never use home row or anything. I just instinctively know where the keys are lol.

[LuGiA]

All i know..is that i'm fast.(But not very accurate ) :$

[SupermanFTM]

Heh, fast is an opinion methinks

Well, that's good, as long as you can accomplish what you need to I guess...

[Eeyore]

Well I've just done a couple of online tests and I'm high 80s, so I was right when I said pretty average next to you lot .

[Christopher Robin]

60 with one error.... Shitty... then 64 with three But it was a typo cause I misread the word... the other two were missed uppercases, but they shouldn't have been uppercase in the test, anyways

[ToxicS]

100 wpm but I don't type correctly; I dont do the asdf. I just have memorized the keyboard fully

Same thing with me, when I first started typing my dad was watching me and he was like "Wtf are you doing?" Typing of course






EDIT:



Net Speed: 97 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 95%


Over 3 minutes. I got bored of those darn zebras

I remember there was this website that recorded typing speed. It was posted here a while ago, and Cript and I kept pulling ahead of each other by a little bit.

[Fatal]

im around 75WPM if you include errors in 5 minutes I cant do that every day though
