142 wpm, no mistakes.
The summer between fourth and fifth grades, my mom kept me occupied by making me learn to touch-type. She thought that it would help me be a secretary when I grew up, but it's way more helpful for my life as a software engineer.

The clop and roar of the train was an uneasy element somewhere at the back of the tall man's dreams. It would die away - die away and fantastic hurrying faces come up to claim his attention. He would think "I am sure I am asleep. This is certainly a dream." Then came a jolt as they roared, with a sudden increase of racket, over a bridge and through a cutting. The fantastic faces disappeared. He was cold and stiff. For the hundredth time he opened his eyes to see the dim carriage-lamps and the rows of faces with their murky highlights and cadaverous shadows.

I was wondering whether the system could detect copy and paste, but I wasn't brave enough to try it like you.

First try. I did make a few mistakes but I instinctively self-corrected them the moment I noticed, which surely affected my time. I type a lot faster when I know what I want to say rather than doing it by dictation/copying.

I don't remember making any mistakes and correcting them, but I guess if I did it would probably have happened subconsciously.

46 WPM, no mistakes.
I did better than I expected. Last year, I was in the range of 30wpm with a average mistake every 3 words.
