How fast do you type? Whenever I take typing tests I usually am between 80 - 100 words per minute.
Dunno, last time I took a typing test was for my current job and I was a nervous wreck. I got something like 65 wpm if I recall correctly.

Last time I took a typing test for a job was a couple of months ago and I managed 96 words per minute, I think.

When typing off the top of my head, it's between 90-100, generally. When I have something there to read and type, like you do in a typing test, I can get over 110 fairly easily.
Smurf, I don't know. Rapidly enough, really.

I don't know an exact number, but I assume it's average. I'm neither fast nor slow.

90-100, but I can type blind. xD
Plus, I have to type all kinds of hard to understand sentences like: "The pattern consists locally of metallisation lines running in parallel." xD

I have no idea x) probably not very quickly or accurately, but I manage and I'm a fair bit speedier than many of my friends.
I'm very slow and very inaccurate. Somewhere between 60-70 words per minute, and I'm always hitting the spacebar a key too early or lingering on the shift key too long. I've got stuck in some bad habits, I think.

Pretty much what Cz said. When I'm IMing in English, I also tend to hit the Enter key instead of the apostrophe with my pinky (because of Swedish keyboard layout). That can be a bit annoying.

ahahah i'm only like 50 wpm, i phail
but also I keep on backspacing when I make mistakes which is bad. I'm better at typing from my mind than from something in front of me, I don't have to copy anything up much.
60-70 misspelled words per minute usually.

I usually type only about 60 -70 words per minutes, but what I type is pretty accurate and the plays more importance in my line of work than speed does. My work is 90% straight typing.
Crap. I got one typo on this first try.

gobo's typing test said 100 wpm
Goldenboko's test put me at 75ish WPM. Which is fairly accurate, I think. Though it's better when I look at what's coming out instead of what I'm typing, I think. I have no idea. Now I'm trying to hurry my typing.
Normally on EoFF or IM, I take my time a bit.

I think I picked a good story for me, though. I was doing 113, 116 a few months ago on that site.
While eating oatmeal, I'm 47 WPM, according the test provided by Boldengoy. (Is GB Jewish? God, I sure hope so...:( )

I got 57 which is ironic because that's how old I'll be when I die of pneumonia.

Last time I took a test it was 120 I think. I'm too lazy to take one again at the moment. I really do type too fast. On MSN it's like I come in, rape you with text, and leave. It's all very ridiculous.

Well, it could be worse. We could be arguing over Firefox/IE/Opera.
