I used to be able to type 124 wpm in mavis beacon, i've slowed down quite a bit since then, i'm around 90wpm.
35 words per minute You type 191 characters per minute You have 35 correct words and you have 0 wrong words The don't word threw me off. I'm not used to typing apostrophes.
I know i can type faster then this. When copying the text it slows down, from thought to finger I am faster. 38 Per minute You type 270 characters per minute You have 38 correct words and you have 1 wrong words EDIT: 2nd round. Faster but with more errors. 46 per minute You type 294 characters per minute You have 46 correct words and you have 4 wrong words
You type 389 characters per minute You have 66 correct words and you have 2 wrong words This copying really throws me off.
You type 495 characters per minute You have 85 correct words and you have 3 wrong words not badddddddddd for crappy/chubby fingers !
after a few try this seems to be my average You type 293 characters per minute You have 44 correct words and you have 2 wrong words 44WPM. Not using a very good keyboard though and copying off the screen is annoying.
I am very honestly surprised to be above average ! I consider myself a decent typer but never thought i'd be faster than most people, especially since I wasn't joking about those chubby fingers of mine they're great to strangle a bear though, which comes in handy in Canada !
230 points, so you achieved position 112103 of 554716 on the ranking list You type 305 characters per minute You have 58 correct words and you have 1 wrong words
Am I the only one whose brain gets 'confused' by the fact that it's just words and not readable phrases? I did the test two times and every time there were several moments where my brain just went "eh?" for a second (halting all activity bar breaking wind). Anyway: 90 words per minute You type 480 characters per minute You have 90 correct words and you have 1 wrong words 89 words per minute You type 488 characters per minute You have 89 correct words and you have 1 wrong words Keeping in mind that I've been inebriated (I'm so cool I can spell inebriated whilst inebriated!), I think it's not too bad. Unfortunately, I don't have a geek job or friends, so I can't brag to anyone
No, though it's more of a problem if you can't touch type (like me). I can't memorise a whole sentence, for example, since it's meaningless. The fastest I can manage without any mistakes is ~40 WPM, but then I have big fingers and poor hand-eye coordination so it's always a recipe for disaster when it comes to typing.
The whole reason for the random words is so that it's a pure measure of typing skill, rather than a measure of memory+typing - although with those kind of tests, it's common to suffer from a brief brain fart about half way through. I learnt to touch type by learning to program - if you can type seemingly random combinations of letters and numbers found in function or variable names, typing English becomes simple
