Gross Speed: 97 WPM (words/minute)

This would be typing leisurely. Were I to type something up for my work, I would be more accurate and have increased speed by about 10 wpm.

Not being able to backspace after pressing spacebar is quite the detriment. :O

WTF, I got 38 wpm. That's bull:skull::skull::skull::skull:, I can type way faster than that. If I didn't have to type exactly what they were putting up there I could go way faster.

No use in trying. I type in an unorthodox manner.

If I have to look at the screen to see what to type, it's somewhere in the 30-40 WPM range. (EDIT: Actually 68 WPM if I have to look at the screen)

If I just type from my head while looking at the keys it's far faster, although I'm not sure how quick it actually is.

You and me both, buddy. I've been using computers for seventeen years and I still can't get used to looking at the screen while typing. I like to see the keys. My Thinkpad has a nice little LED at the top of the chassis which illuminates the keyboard when it's dark and my external keyboard is backlit.

not bad necro.

I agree with some of the above. I can type faster if I am just thinking what I am typing and not copying from a paper or the screen. I don't need to see the keyboard though. I've become a bit of a touch typist I guess.

I'd say i'm 40wpm when tired, 60wpm usually, 80 max when going by screen, and might break 100 if I let grammar go by the wayside and type from my brain.

Yes! Probably would have been a bit fast but I had to stop here and there to correct myself from trying to correct my typos XD

This is way better than when I took it last night XD I had like 51 WPM w/ 59 Gross and 91% accuracy :D

I'm typing on a laptop and I was typing very uncomfortably (I'm on my bed)

I might try it again but I hate typing tests.

81 - 97 on rubah's test.

There was a rare instance where I got a 63 because the sentence grammatically didn't make sense.. and I was second guessing myself the whole time typing it, having to correct as I went.

My brain thinks about what I type, so the harder the text, the slower my speed it seems.

I'd say my lowest on some really big words when I'm tired is 40-50. And my highest with grammar/spelling is probably 80-95 like on rubah's test. If grammar and spelling are let go, maybe a little over a 100.

It's easier to type words that are common and familiar, so if you're typing plain english you'll score higher than if you're typing gibberish, a foriegn language, or old fashioned english. It's like your fingers have the words pre-programmed in them, I guess.

I type pretty fast for a two finger typer. Sometimes I close my eyes and I still find the right keys even with just two fingers.

I got 54 wpm gross, although for some reason it said my accuracy was zero, even though it clearly was not zero.

In the first one:
Net Speed: 81 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 94%
Gross Speed: 85 WPM

But my connection reset halfway through and I was spending a lot of type trying to correct my typos with the backspace.

100 words per minute in the other test.

The first site used software that my college used for first years, many years ago and I used to get 100 wpm in some tests, the lowest I ever got was probably in the 60s back in the day.
