    Default Your Typing Speed

    Just curious about how other folk's normal typing speed/accuracy are.

    Go to TypingTest.com (for uniformity's sake) and pick one of the tests there. I did the 1 minute test for 'The Enchanted Typewriter'.

    Post your results here. It doesn't have to be your first result, you can do it as many times and post your best time.

    This was mine for 'The Enchanted Typewriter'.

    I did the Zebra one first and got around 72WPM.

    Dont' have to post a pic for 'verification', those can be altered about as easily as just typing a random number. Honor system!

    First Attempt on "Enchanted Typewriter":
    Net Speed: 83 WPM
    Accuary: 91%
    Gross Speed: 91 WPM

    First Attempt on "Tigers in the Wild":
    Net Speed: 87 WPM
    Accuracy: 91%
    Gross Speed: 95 WPM

    The course I took in order to test for my job was somewhere in the field of 99 - 105 WPM (this was over two and a half years ago) so I guess I have dropped significantly since then. I'll take it later when it is not morning and I'm more aware though. Fun stuff.

    65 wpm on the Wizard of Oz one. My accuracy was 98%.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    30 WPM and 79% accuracy and 38 GWPM on "The Irrational side of Managerial Decision-making."

    Definitely that's as fast as I can go...

    I'm not as much a speed typist than I am one for perfection. If I type slower, I can catch typing errors faster.

    I don't do typing tests. The difference between normal speed and gaming speed is vastly different.

    I got confused at first so I got 67 WPS. Also I'm listening to somebody rant about how her dial up email sends slowly.

    I'll try again later.

    PS: the zebra one is tough because of the weird local location names :)

    I think I could've done better if I were at home with my desktop keyboard. Although nothing forgives habitually typing 'teh' instead of 'the'.

    the the the the the the the the the the

    Maybe I'm better now.

    I had 72 wpm on the Wizard of Oz one, which I would say is about right for me.

    If I remember when I was in typing class, I had like 6 or so WPM. I'm not one for fast typing.
