Typing skills

TypingTest.com (http://www.typingtest.com/)

Let's see how fast you can type ! Take the 1 minute test, choosing the "Test instructions" text.

The accuracy statistic seems to be based on the final result of the text, and not if you make errors. So if you type "the dgo [backspace x 2] og" resulting "the dog", accuracy will be of 100%.

Here's my result :
Net Speed: 66 WPM (words/minute)
Accuracy: 100%
Gross Speed: 66 WPM (words/minute)

Whats yours ?!

[Psychotic]

I did a whole bunch of typing tests the other day, including that one, so I could put my WPM on my CV on the computer skills section. It averaged out at about 93.

[LunarWeaver]

I'm nabbing about 95 on this one, although I've gotten 115 or so on others. Eh, neither is too bad, though I wish I were faster.

[Inferno]

WHAT! And I thought I wasn't too bad...

Note : english is not my first language

~100 words per minute is insane. You're basically saying that no matter what kind of text you have to write, you can type a word and a half a second.

Crazy people and their writing skills. Ah well, I guess I'm not meant to be a secretary. :p

I get about 60 WPM, and I'm fine with that.

[Jessweeee♪]

Net Speed: 89 WPM
Accuracy: 98%
Gross Speed: 90 WPM


I did good :</>D

[Jess]

88 WPM & 100% accuracy. I'm happy with that. :jess:

[Zeromus_X]

Net Speed: 69 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 97%
Gross Speed: 71 WPM

And I didn't even finish the second paragraph...looks like I got some work to do.

[Rantz]

Net Speed: 43 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 97%
Gross Speed: 44 WPM
(words/minute)

... Yup. Really.

[Inferno]

Finally, a human

[Aerith's Knight]

I know, right?

[Rye]

98 wpm! Almost 100% accuracy too. =O

[Raistlin]

97 wpm. I've taken a few tests like this before, and I'm usually right around 100.

[Nethox]

I get about 75wpm :)

Chatting is integral to building fast typing skills. (this includes msn group convos also)

[NorthernChaosGod]

Net Speed: 89 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 97%
Gross Speed: 96 WPM
(words/minute)

I used to be faster, too. I blame my shallow laptop keyboard.

[JKTrix]

I'm not in a position to participate right now, but you should consider: TypeRacer (http://play.typeracer.com/)

Compete directly with other people. You can set up 'private' rooms too, so you can just have EoFF people.

[rubah]

That race site is awesome.

Yeah! Only problem is that MSN chat ruins my need to correct my spelling since I just type half-word-half-jibberish now. I type very fast, but I make a lot of typos since in MSN I end up sounding like "oh my god whaht happen hahhshjdisfios homy oogd guys whaT?!" half the time. :greenie:

I am! MSN group chats are the best because everyone is laughing so much that spelling becomes trivial. It's the language of bgfbhdfjfahhahahahaha.

Sweet, I'm adding you.

[Bunny]

Rye stopped talking to me because she hates me now :(

I type roughly 83 wpm. When I was in the military, I typed about 120 wpm.

[Linus]

Net Speed: 93 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 100%
Gross Speed: 93 WPM
(words/minute)

I always backspace if I make errors. 100% accuracy is more important than increasing your speed from 93 to 96 or whatever.

[leader of mortals]

I'm a horrible typer...


Net Speed: 50 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 98%
Gross Speed: 51 WPM
(words/minute)

I look at the keyboard when I type and I only use my Index fingers unless I am using Shift, Then I use my Ring finger. My accuracy is normally pretty ok, because if I mess up I normally feel that I have pushed two buttons and fix it without ever having to look at the screen.

[Quindiana Jones]

72 WPM. 100% accuracy.

Though if you asked me to just type out a random sentence from my head, it'd go a lot quicker. I no copy good. :(

[Mo-Nercy]

I'm an awful typist but I fluked a 90wpm 100% accuracy with a Facebook application a few years ago. It sits proudly on the profile page to this day

[Jiro]

70wpm, 100%. I got to like 80 words and realised I made a mistake, so I backspaced :(

[Meat Puppet]

I can’t handle the pressure with these things. I get like 20 words a minute with 12.5% accuracy
