How Fast Do You Type?

Cyndane · June 2005

I worked for the USA Relay for about a year and a half, when I began to type it was around 80 wpm. When I left it was around 180, so it doesn't surprise me that I lost some speed. :-)

(Sprint USA Relay: You type and speak for deaf/heard of hearing/mute people, when they make telephone calls.)

82 - 100

Huge words make it 82, simple words make it ~100. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

After taking time to really concentrate, I managed to go from 65 wpm to 83 wpm. Unfortunately, I never learned to type properly, so I rarely use my right pinky finger for p and bottom row with my right hand I typically index finger it out.
I can attest to playing a lot of Muds in highschool for my speed though...

The test is borken for me; it starts, well, lagging when I get towards the bottom of the paragraph and none of my input gets through, while my score drops. Then after a while all my text appears, but I get no credit :/

Anyway, I was up to around 77 WPM before it buggered up.

Yes, all of those people need to die horrible, horrible, horrible deaths.

Of course, I was one of the managers there (After a year of being on the phones), so it wasn't so bad, as I almost never had to get on the phone.. untill the internet was opened up.

So...typing that took you 3 or 4 minutes?

It's all in the magic index fingers.

Breakthrough · June 2005

I got 80 WPM, with 80% accuracy on that test.
That's impossible, it took me 23 minutes to type this post...

DOOManiac · June 2005

Depends on my typing style
In 'accuracy' mode (programming, word processing, i.e. important stuff) 90WPM w/ 91% accuracy.
In 'IRC' mode, I get about 110WPM w/ 70% accuracy

I'm just a Canadian using the metric system, but shouldn't it actually read meter?

It doesn't count a new word after each space, or it shouldn't at least. When I had computer classes in high school, a word was defined as five characters for the purpose of calculating typing speed.
