See how fast you can type!

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

Neat! I never actually learned to type the right way, but over the years I've become a touch-typist. Never had anything like a fair test before.

On three trials, I got 62 wpm, 57 wpm, 57wpm.

[marc weber]

That is cool!

I took five trials, averaging about 87 wpm.

[Bear Bibeault]

47wpm! Woohoo!

[Raghav Sam]

Averaged at 36 wpm...a bit slow :roll:

But I think there is difference to seeing and typing and thinking (or memorizing and typing). By gut feeling I am a bit faster in the latter case.

[Rajah Nagur]

Good link.

Not bad..with 7 mistakes I got 61.95 wpm (words/min) and 258.37 cpm. What does c stand for?

[Priya Raja]

Characters.

My average is 73.64 - not bad considering the fact that I have a defective keyboard!

[Joyce Lee]

This is fun!

Two trials: 58.23wpm, 69.85wpm.

[Sonny Gill]

Finally, I am finished working, and can the take test too

3 tries - 76.94(5 mistakes), 60.61 (6 mistakes), 86.17 (1 mistake).

An average of 74.57 wpm.
I wonder if it will get better if I take the test once every day!

[Angela Poynton]

62.96 wpm, not bad!

[fred rosenberger]

i did it twice. the main thing that messed me up is that i was taught to put two spaces after a period. i'd be sailing along, and not notice that they consider that a mistake...

and the case thing, but that's my own damn fault.

but still, i did it twice, the first time i got 61.8 with 11 mistakes, and then second 71.4 with five mistakes.

i think one of the best things my dad ever did was that when he brought home a dumb terminal and a modem, if we wanted to play "Zork" or "Adventure", we HAD to type with the correct fingers. so, i've been able to touch type since about 4th grade...

[Svend Rost]

5 mistakes,

64.04 wpm (279.57 cpm)

Same here. After the first one I was focused on not doing that though!

My first three tries:
77.33wpm with 9 mistakes
84.41wpm with 5 mistakes
91.96wpm with 2 mistakes

[Maulin Vasavada]

Wohooooooooo!!!

83.95 with 6 mistakes first try...

I thought I am a good typer as I learned "Typing" as my 10th grade couse in India and then learned computer keyboard after that...

Me too, but it was surprisingly easy to unlearn that.

(I learned to type on an ancient manual typewriter. A lowercase "L" was used for the numeral "1," and exclamation points were made by backspacing over a period to add a single quote on top of it. )

[Adeel Ansari]

On average

52.32 wpm
4.33 mistakes

[Gregg Bolinger]
