    Default WPM

    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.
