82, which is pretty high for me. Must be having a good day.
75wpm with 93% accuracy, adjusted to 72wpm.
I’m a real whiz with the backspace button, use it all the time.
ETA: had no idea this was a zombie… but the test still works!
What’s the rush?
I’m a pretty fast hunt and peck typist at about 45wpm or so. Never tested to really see though.
66 WPM with 95% accuracy.
I’m faster on stuff that I’m used to typing like SQL code, and I’m faster if I’m thinking it up instead of reading stuff off of a screen.
I voted 96-100, then checked, and got 98 WPM. (99 WPM with one error.) It’s been pretty much constant my entire adult life. (Yep, just checked the last thread about this, and it was 97 then, and one a year before was 102.)
“Yes,” apparently. Took it several times, got results from 45 to 95. I’m much faster at prose I’m composing myself – most of those samples have a lot of punctuation, abbreviations, odd grammar, and the occasional unusual spelling.
I was tested at about 65 a decade or so ago, I suppose I’m probably faster now, but probably not a lot.
First try: 69 WPM, no errors.
Second try, not trying for 100% accuracy (overriding my normal instinct), 74 adjusted, with 3 errors.
My hat’s off to you guys who can go over 100!
I do type a lot faster doing what I normally do, which is off the top of my head. But I still do use the backspace key a lot.
At one point I was able to push 100 CPS (whatever that corresponds to in WPM). I’d been using a Teletype a lot, and generally typed as fast as the keyboard would let me, gently pressing the next key until it allowed it to slide down, moving onto the next key. A friend was looking over my shoulder (I was helping him with his project). He blinked and said he saw the word “subroutine” appear on the screen; couldn’t believe I’d typed it that fast. (The screen was a storage scope attached to a LINK-8; I’d replaced the TTY driver with one I wrote which drew on the screen.)
63wpm which is a huge reduction from several years ago when I was over 100wpm.
I don’t type much anymore, at least not in long bursts. I write a lot of emails and documents but it’s creating as I type and I hadn’t realized how much of that pure speed I’d lost.
Sad really.
92 wpm, baby! I still got it.
93 wpm. 100-110 is my hard limit on a good day, and my “casual” typing speed is probably around 75.
Oh, sure, you had to come in here and make me look bad. 
My “top speed” was 43 with a 2-3 errors, last I checked a couple of years ago. Which, to be fair, was a improvement from my high school days, when it was around 30-32.
Though, I probably type even slower in my normal everyday typing life.
Just took the test now. Wizard of Oz.
58 WPM w/ 6 errors. 52 adjusted.
74 with 1 error.
That was a pretty worthless test. I wasn’t sure whether it was expecting me to transcribe the material in the box, or just say whatever. So I typed some stuff for about 40 seconds, then called it quits.
It said I had 27 wpm with 28 errors = 0 net wpm, which made no sense because I corrected my errors in progress. I also found the test’s interface unusually awkward in terms of seeing and correcting the text I was typing.
101 to 105. Taught myself out of sheer boredom in third grade by playing Mario Teaches Typing.
Got a little slower on the test, but I’m out of practice of actually trying, and I’ve never transcribed as well as I typed.
I went with 61-65 but I got an adjusted score of 55. But I do agree that’s BS since I went back and fixed every error. (I know you’re not supposed to, but it’s an ingrained habit.) That’s not how those things are supposed to work. If you allow use of backspace, then corrections shouldn’t count against you. So I’m going with my 59 WPM raw score.
I also marvel at people who go to 100 or can transcribe without getting mixed up. I especially envy those people who can type without saying the words to themselves.
:dubious: You envy everybody?
I haven’t recently try to est how fast is my typing speed but I can say 40-60. Not that really good with typing but I spend most of the time in front of the computer and also do some typing. I cant even type fast without looking on the keyboard.
