25wpm 4 errors. I’m a least twice as fast when I’m writing programs rather than transcribing.
94wpm and 0 mistakes… like others, I would have been faster if I didn’t have an instinctive “go back and fix that NOW” pop up half a dozen times.
I usually test around 110-115 when I’m not allowed to go back and fix things, so that’s probably about right, where it is.
MY speed was 1866 wpm with 81 mistakes.
I clicked “Start,” highlighted the text, hit Ctrl-C, clicked in the text box, and hit Ctrl-V, then clicked the “stop” button.
When I tested for Temp clerking jobs 10 years ago, I tested at 70 wpm with 98% accuracy. Nowadays, though, I doubt I could even acheive 40 wpm, and I’m too lazy to find out for sure.
fRo soem r eason ikeep gettng a luosy scor…
76 wpm…with 4 mistakes.
97 wpm with 1 mistake.
I seem to be getting slower as I get older, but in my defense, I don’t type now anywhere near as often as I used to.
76wpm, no mistakes.
Not the easiest text I’ve typed though. Is this part even grammatically correct?
108 wpm with zero mistakes.
Hah, hah! 3403 WPM, and with no mistakes!
(I copied and pasted into TextEdit (equivalent of Notepad), edited out all the extra commas, and then start-paste-stopped).
I may n ot have the lowest wpm, at 69, but I have the highest number of errors at 11, it seems. And I even went back and corrected almost half of them.
Good God, my fingers don’t do what they’re told. Then again, I really only use six fingers. The index, middle, and ring of my left, the index and middle of my right, and the thumb of my left.
75 wpm, but I went back and corrected a lot of mistakes.
First time: Kinda slow typing speed of 61 wpm, but no mistakes.
Second time: Sightly faster at 70 wpm, again with no mistakes. Once you get the rythm of typing, you can usually type faster. I guess.
I took a government-administered typing test for a job a few months ago and got 86wpm with 0 mistakes.
No, I didn’t get the job.
I managed 94 words per minute, with four mistakes… but, the ‘s’ key on my keyboard is a little suss, which accounted for one of the mistakes.

137 WPM, no mistakes. And I never learned to type properly.
This is proof that I’ve ben using the internet (and more specifically, chatting in fast moving chat rooms) for too long.
- Not too bad. Would have been faster if I hadn’t lost my place halfway through the passage.
73 WPM but, as many others, I couldn’t stop myself from backspacing to correct errors, which I’m sure slowed me down. The problem is, there’s some weird issue with my laptop where it will stop reading my keystrokes for a second or two, and I’ve typed four more words before I realize that the last half of a word is missing.
And I definitely type faster when I’m typing from my brain, as opposed to copying something I see.
76 WPM, no mistakes, some errors corrected during the course of the exercise. I feel that I’d have a better score if I’d been a little quicker changing from mouse to keyboard and back again at the start and end.
1800 wpm, 104 mistakes
80 wpm, no mistakes. My first attempt was 79, 3 mistakes. I went back and corrected several mistakes; had I not, I would’ve had a faster rate.
