typing skills test: WPM

Woo.... 60 wpm with my Powerbook on my lap.

I'm gonna get lots of girls in school...

 

I've never been much of a typist.

I did the thing about the Tiger.

Apple Keyboard (wired)

Edit: just took the test again, with the Huckly Berry Fin thing, and got 52.

 

I get around 78 on my PowerBook and around 72 on my Apple Pro with accuracy higher on my PowerBook. Strange though, it feels like I type better on my Apple Pro...

 

Mozilla and Internet Exploder couldn't load the test. I had to use Safari for it to work.

All right. I have a positive and negative reaction to the test.

The positive is: I thought I typed at 20 to 30WPM, because I rarely did better than that the last official time I checked, which was 7 years ago. Also, I can't do home row typing, so I expected that I would still get 20 to 30WPM. But, no. I got 73WPM. That's scary...

The negative is: I got jipped. One of the words I had to spell was this, and I spelt that exactly correct (and I checked to be sure while I kept typing, since the "mistake" was highlighted), so my accuracy should have been 100%. I feel and know it was, so there.

Oh, and I used my TI-89 to take the test, no only kidding... used my killer black Apple Pro Keyboard.

 

122 wpm with 98% accuracy.

 

I am such a bad typist- I only got 58....

 

I did 41 wpm, with 4 mistakes. Of course I'm using my powerbook on my lap, and my hands are stiff, because I was painting for a couple of hours this afternoon.

 

I usually score 50 WPM +/- 10-15 WPM depending on the type test and how my energy and focus levels are.

 

68 with 100%

 

81 wpm, missed four words. I think I could've done better though.

 

86

 

Aw man, they try to mess the heck out of you with commas and semi colons. First time through was Huck Finn with a grand total of 72WPM. Second was Fishing in finland with 89WPM.

 

You guys are good. 68 with both Finland and Huck Finn.

 

82wpm 96% accuracy my first try on the Finland text, I've done this same test in the past though and gotten in the 90s for wpm

 

102 wpm
88% accuracy.

I guess I'm lazy and I don't capitalise my words expecting that it would automatically do it for me.

 

not too bad I suppose for sitting at my laptop slouching

Edit: oops, didn't mean to put it as a pdf

 

highest score so far

 

I muts do betret ...

i gto 52 wmp wiht 10% accracusy , I do realyl nede to imporve ...

J/K ... 58 WPM and 96% ... but i do need to get better, thanks for the link

Anyway I really think is because my jobs has to do more with the mouse,
I don't type that long at work, maybe 52 words / day ...

 

I type around 60 wpm with 100% accuracy. I always have within 2 or 3 wpm, so I won't do it. I'm also using Mozilla right now, and couldn't be arsed.

Anyway, one time I was trying to find a job through a job agency in London (like many people do), and they made me take a typing test. Now the thing is that after the end of a sentence, I normally put 2 spaces between the period and the start of the next sentence. In England, it's only one space between sentences. Anyway, I scored around 32 wpm with 4% errors or something like that because I was so worried about ending sentences and beginning new ones.

 

I'm in England and was taught at school to leave 2 spaces and still do to this day.
