43 wpm with 100% accuracy.

Never mind. Post adjusted speed. Sorry, my adjusted speed was 84 WPM.
50s to 60s, last time I tested. I think it’s probably closer to 45 to 50 nowadays though.
According to the site, of three tries, this, my second try, was my best score:
Typing Speed 69 WPM
Errors 12
Adjusted speed 57 WPM
I really thought my typing speed was in the 80s, but I was typing as fast as I can and I couldn’t break 70 WPM. Surprising and disappointing.
My other 2 scores were:
Typing Speed 61 WPM
Errors 16
Adjusted speed 45 WPM
Typing Speed 64 WPM
Errors 10
Adjusted speed 54 WPM
I don’t tend to type long stretches; I tend to think about what I’m writing, glance at research or support materials and stare at the ceiling in between bursts of typing at a speed proportional to the length of what I have to say in that pass. I have hit 90+ on tests but it’s not representative of my sustained speed… nor do I really have a sustained speed the way a copyist or secretary might.
Didn’t take the test, but from memory of taking similar, I come out in the mid-90s.
I came in at 96 this time, and that’s what I voted. I normally come in between 110 and 120, but even with the heat on it’s freaking cold in here and my fingers aren’t fully thawed. Still 100% accuracy, though. Best (and only real-world applicable) skill I ever got out of playing MMOs.
61 wpm with 1 error.
200 rly shrt wrds a mnt.
Top of the chart.
I write 5000-6000 words per day these days. And I do it quickly and accurately.
89 with 2 errors, but I know that’s on the high end. I usually average in the 60’s. Right in the meaty part of the curve it looks like. Not showing off, not falling behind
You forgot an option: “I type fast enough and accurately enough to make good money as a transcriptionist/legal secretary, so testing is irrelevant.”
Last time I actually tested, a decade or so ago, I was at a temp agency doing their computerized tests. I mistook the actual typing test for a practice test and didn’t put in my best effort. When I explained to the staffer what had happened and offered to take the test again, she looked at my score and said “Don’t bother, this is good enough!” My score was in the mid-60’s. Of course it helped that my scores on Word, Excel, etc were very high as well.
I got 69 wpm, zero errors, typed in the dark so I couldn’t have seen the keyboard if I’d wanted to (not that I wanted to).
I came in at 65 wpm on this one. I’ve tested faster, and I really want to blame the somewhat compressed keyboard on my netbook, but that’s probably fairly close to a fair average.
I got a 92 WPM adjusted for errors typing about zebras. I’ve scored as high as 98-100 WPM on these types of tests before (possibly even this exact page or one just like it - it looks familiar), but I was dinged for errors because I kept typing a word or two ahead from reading ahead. To do these types of tests well I have to “zone out” and not think about what I’m reading, just typing the letters in an unbuffered stream (so to speak), but I wasn’t able to do that this time for whatever reason. I was reading and then typing what I just read, which made me error prone.
It didn’t help that I kept thinking the capitalization in their sample text was inconsistent. It made it hard for me to zone out.
51 WPM. Rather quicker than I would have guessed, considering I never leaned to type…
I just tested myself. Typing on my tiny phone using just my thumb, I got 20 wpm with no errors.
So if I had a keyboard and used all 10 fingers, I guess that would be 200 wpm. :dubious:
66 wpm, adjusted (one error). Good enough – I’m usually writing, not transcribing, and I don’t feel like I can’t keep up with my thoughts.
