I thought for Christmas I'd give you guys this topic

 

Here's the link, it's free and fun:

 

Typing Test

 

Average typing speed is about 30, and a good typer, for deaf translators has to do, by law, 60.

 

What's your?

 

No lying!

Typing= 200 WPM, Accuracy= 0.1 %

or

Typing 20 WPM, accuracy maybe 80%

 

I type with both hands but only one finger on each. Plus they're big. That the backspace button is the most used on my keyboard is all you really need to know

 

I just tried it and kept getting errors no matter what I did. Had to type 'astronaut' and when I tried hitting space or enter or even just typing them over and over with no separation I got errors (and it was definitely spelled right, even tried capitalizing it)

[FrostElfGuard 9]

55 gross wpm

47 wpm with 85% accuracy.

 

That test is hard!

[Spunky 16]

Net Speed: 22 WPM

(words/minute)

Accuracy: 75%

Gross Speed: 29 WPM

(words/minute)

 

[Schot 407]

I think I need practice on my speed but my accuracy was great.

 

Net Speed: 30 WPM (words/minute)

Accuracy: 100%

Gross Speed: 30 WPM (words/minute)

 

P.s.

Woot! 42 WPM / 97% Accuracy on Rules of Baseball.

 

 

Don't do Astronauts. The grammar is a bit messed up.

Figures that was the one I was trying I couldn't figure out why it was slinging errors at me every time I typed it

[Putrescine 11]

On Aesop's Fables

[Putrescine 11]

I'm pretty anxious bout 'yer result gogo

 

post eeeeet!

[Barristan 14]

Heyas,

 

did 48 WPM... accuracy 98%, guess I do better in Dutch

 

Got a program lying around somewhere I got from a typing instructor (yes, they exist here), but have never gotten to do it

 

It would teach me to type with 10 fingers, as now I use about 4

 

Greetz

btw. I chose Tigers in the wild

[gogoblender 3,068]

I'll spit out my speed...I can ding 94 wpm if I'm in a good mood. I used to work for a deaf translation service for California, and we all had to have our speeds tested every three months. Min needed was 60 wpm.

 

Okay... who's next here...come on in and type!

 

 

gogo

[stubbie 21]

95% accurarcy ( )

25 wpm

 

That's why whenever you see me post a long response, you know I have given up a good chunk of my life to type it.

[Barristan 14]

Heya,

 

Bah! I am still at 48 WPM, and I even took two efforts

 

Greetz

[gogoblender 3,068]

Actually Barristan that's decent. 40 WPM is average.

 

heh, Stubbie I know about your typing lol... requiem..

 

And if your typing takes some time, that means it's more an object of craft than boredom.

 

Content to treasure.

grumpf... can be really better in french.

Ouch I suk!

[Bondbug 32]

Net Speed: 0 WPM

(words/minute)

Accuracy: 100%

Gross Speed: can't find infinity on my keyboard WPM

(words/minute)

 

Did you guess ... I cheat.

 

OK. OK. I'll get round to it. mumble mumble.

[essjayehm 58]

46 WPM gross speed

 

3 errors for 93% accuracy

 

Net speed 43 WPM.... above average, which is 2-finger typing if my results are a good indication.

 

Heh... I think of the 1 min. test, I spent 10 seconds backspacing and correcting words. My "actual" accuracy should be about 50-60% because I mis-type every other word (but can backspace like a FIEND 8)

[gogoblender 3,068]

Agreed. lol, the beauty of backspacing.. the modern day miracle, rip winkle with words... now on forums, one day the world?

 

Wonders

91 WPM and 100% Accuracy on Wizard of Oz. I'll try astronauts, it's actually a good test as far as typing non-standard things (such as when in another language etc when just copying)

 

80 WPM and 100% Accuracy, take away backspace and it'd be probably 90ish accuracy and higher wpm. I guess that explains why I can get long winded so easily.

[Scrappy McSlap 6]

Took a shot at the "Astronaut" one...

 

WPM: 54 (272 chars) in 1:00 min.

Accuracy 83%

9 errors deducted

45 Words Per Minute after error deductions

 

This is on my first attempt... meh. Gonna try again.

 

Ran it again, this time on a 3 minute timer (probably a bit better for figuring out an average), and did much better:

 

WPM: 59 in 3:00 min. (885 chars)

Accuracy 95% (8 errors)

56 Words Per Minute after error deductions

 

Much more consistent there. Pretty tough material though! Wouldn't want to have to type up that stuff all day.... Neat little test though. Might have to use that for practice more often.

Ooooh, exciting~ o3o

 

Dang, gogo, you're speedy!

 

I got 67 WPM, 100% Acc. in 1 minute, with the laptop on my lap.

I feel like I can actually type way faster (but maybe that's only when it's from my head, heh).

 

Fun test >3<

[Bondbug 32]

One attempt only. Bad for the old blood pressure. 28WPM, 100% accuracy. Dead normal. I did Aesop. Could probably improve now I know what is coming, but not enough to go again. I used to reckon on 35WPM. with at least 4 fingers.

[promatolya 5]

Guess I can go translate for blind people legally huh
