Inspired by this thread about touch typing.
How fast do you type using this test?
Some tests may produce different results; I like this one because it’s purely testing word input and eliminates the temptation to comprehend a document.
And, are you touch-typing or hunt-and-peck?
30 h/p. I used to (probably still could) touch type faster but I’m using a smaller than normal gaming-style keyboard that doesn’t fit my fairly large, stubby-fingered hands all that well.
Using a different test, one with some really weird spacing conventions and such, I got 45 wpm. On the one you linked, 70.
80 wpm.
I became a much faster typist when IMing became popular in high school. The faster you typed, the more you got to talk, and I love talking!
I took it once and hesitated for a few seconds in confusion about what I was supposed to do about mistakes when a word turned red - backspace and correct, or ignore and go on? I backspaced and retyped the word, which turned red, evidently because I’d typed on and the mistake was from two words ago and I should have ignored it. I lost both time and an points for an extra correction and scored 97 WPM.
I could live with that since typically I score 95-100 on these types of tests, but when I saw the poll result grouped me in at 70-99 I got pissed off (70 WPM is like really slow to me), took it again with more concentration and scored 102. So there. I’m going with that. 
By the way, the random word thing helps with accuracy. Otherwise I tend to read ahead and then to supply what I expect to be the next word or even phrase instead of what is actually on the page, and have to backspace to correct for it. To be accurate as a (fast) typist requires turning off the “reading” part of the brain and just make operate as a buffer of letters.
I got 45 on the test you linked by touch-typing. It’s a little slower than I’ve tested before but not by far.
The first time I took it, it (incorrectly) claimed I got every word but one wrong, for an average of 0 wpm. The second time I got 85 wpm.
76 WPM. Microsoft Natural Keyboard(the split, curvy and incredibly comfortable kind).
134 wpm using that test.
Usually I score somewhere in the 90s, though. I think this test was faster because it was all short, common words with no punctuation, numbers, or symbols.
Touch typing, 85wpm. Usually I test somewhere between 70-75wpm on 5 minute tests.
Test results:
**Words per minute (WPM) 159
Keystrokes 846
Correct words 155
Wrong words 5
You reached 796 Points so you achieved position 3 of 74169 on the ranking list (last 24 hours)**
My freshman year of high school back in '84-'85, I had signed up for French language class. I endured that for about two weeks, then dropped it in favor of a semester of woodworking shop followed by a semester of typing. I’m really glad I made that switch. I enjoyed woodworking (28 years later, I still have the cedar-lined pine chest that I made back then), and the typing class has been absolutely indispensible. We learned on IBM Selectrics, and IIRC my fastest typing test at that time was 88 WPM; I think I was bumping up against the speed limit of the typewriter itself there. Now, with computer keyboards, I can truly haul ass.
128 WPM, 638 keystrokes, 0 errors, 121 correct words.
I think I can do a little faster when typing up what’s in my head rather than copying something.
As I said on the other thread, I can get up to 75wpm on QWERTY and about 30 on Dvorak.

Words per minute (WPM) 60
Keystrokes 307
Correct words 57
Wrong words 1
I voted “hunt and peck” because I don’t hold my fingers over the home keys like you’re meant to, but I tend to just glance down at the keyboard once in a while. I used to be faster back when I did lots of chatting online.
50’s on Qwerty
20’s on Qwertz
This just made me laugh and laugh and laugh. I’m probably going to get in trouble, but it was worth it.
86 wpm. Woo!
I touch type. In all honestly, I should be much faster.
77 on the first try. I think I could do better now that I see how it works and what to do with missed words.
