The last typing test I took for a job clocked me at 85 wpm with 100% accuracy. I have no idea how I managed that, but I was pleased.
shion's test had me at 75 wpm with 97% accuracy for Aesop's Fables.
That wasn't my test, that was plef's test. I just posted about garfield typing game because I type like a child
:(
pleffy's then! Oops.
I scored 82wpm with a couple errors. I don't touch type because I find it awkward; my hands just kind of splay out on the keyboard a little and move around. It's kind of nice. I wonder what my typing speed would be one handed.
Okay 35wpm one handed. I made a smurfload of errors and had to go and fix them myself because ugh perfection.
61 with 96% accuracy. Pretty much standard for me. Fortunately, fast typing it is not as necessary these days with speech-to-text technology.
75 witha 92% accuracy.
81 wpm (adjusted) with 93% accuracy. But I only use three fingers on my left hand and two on my right, other than pinkies for shift and thumbs for spacebar. Fortunately programmers don't have to type words, we have to type :%s/\v(^[^"]*)@
I think hands properly on the home-row and using your pinkies for the keys on the ends is a good way to cripple yourself in 10 or 20 years. I had a lot of trouble with hand pain until I switched how I hold my hands and what fingers I use.
Oh, I forgot about that bit. 65wpm with 100% accuracy.
I went back and corrected my mistakes as I went so it said I had 100% accuracy, but I didn't not make mistakes, so I don't think I had 100% accuracy.
I believe it is handy to know how to touch type, but can be essential if you do have a job with data entry. Are you looking into temp jobs in offices, shion? It will be handy, and it is always nice to hone a skill. I like the look of the program you bought, shion. It sounds useful and fun; the second is always a nice perk. I considered buying a typing program recently, and looked at one on Steam with a zombie horror bend; it looked interesting.
I learned how to touch type throughout my schooling years and appreciate not having to hunt, peck, or stare at keys while I am responding to people online (my primary usage of typing). However, my ability is not what it once was, since after high school I took on jobs that involved little computer work, and when I send emails or post on message boards, time is not an issue.
Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World's test got me an adjusted 66 WPM, and I also checked out Typing Club, and I have been getting WPMs in the forties. That makes me feel bad.
I could use a job anywhere quite frankly and I would like an office job!
I'm unemployed now so I am trying to do something useful with my time, such as learning to type and learning Spanish and volunteering and such.
I got 90 wpm from Plef's test with 100% accuracy. I think I used to be a bit faster back in high school, but I can't remember for sure. I know that I somehow find myself on Mario Teaches Typing in middle and high school a few times.
