How fast do you type?

Well... my first thread of all and it is about typing in nothingland. Go figure.

This is a great site to figure out how fast you type, and I use it every so often just to see where I am at.

Today I typed 67 wpm (without errors), and if you count my errors I typed 62 wpm.

Your turn. :cool:

This is the thread that gave me the idea. Thanks wolf!

oh dear.......

TBH, it's quality rather than quantity that coungts. Or, as teh ladies would say, speed is not the issue (altough I guess that on a literative point it...oops sorry, got distracted. where was I?)... oh yes, how fast.... No, it is the content that matters.... for example, take my own modest contributions.... I am not rhe fatset typuist in the world, nor the most accurTE, yet my posts are qulatititive, eraldite, and relevant to the issue at hand. Ldearn form my exsample and you wont go fART wonmg here.

Pretty fast....my finger really flies. Slows way down when I try to use two fingers, though. :o

How fast can you type? Find out with our free typing test that works in your web browser* and takes only a couple of minutes minutes to complete.

After the short text typing sample, you will


Looks like someone at the typing test site needs to work on their typing :p .

Excellent! Maybe there is a prize or something if you notice it and tell them about it. ;)

Regis called, he said you win the fastest finger question.

75 WPM, 5 errors, aggregate 70.

I'm way down. I used to type 100 WPM when I was working as a secretary.

And, incidentally, I have never taken a formal typing class.

I tried to make no errors, and I used backspace when I thought I did. I got 37 wpm with zero errors. I've never taken typing. I use 3-4 fingers when I type.

40 wpm gross. fine for what I do.
Clodfobble • Nov 3, 2006 3:59 pm
76 WPM, six errors. But I kept trying to backspace farther than it would let me, wasting precious time.

I am filled with the desire to take it again and again to beat my high score. I'm not too competitive, huh? :)

I want to try the other ones too. The incomprehensible babble of the default selection seems like it should be harder to type than the Wizard of Oz piece, or the thing about the tigers.
