How fast can you type?
I just took an online typing test and was surprised how slow I actually am. I really didn't understand the test results and they were given back in "gross WPM" and net WPM. Well, I can type around 30 WPM, but the net was really docked for redos or something. It was like 7. I know I type much faster than that. I can't actually figure out the thing since they say a 'word' is five letters and a space. Does that mean a ten letter word counts for 2?
I just took an online typing test and was surprised how slow I actually am. I really didn't understand the results and they were given in..... I just retyped my own words and that was as far as I got in 60 seconds. Man, you would think that with 15,000 posts, I could do better than that. |

I'm good for about 85-90 wpm. I just went to www.typingtest.com and did 2 minutes, and got 97 wpm but my accuracy was only 86%.

I couldn't get that site to give back results. I didn't see where to signal you were done. Are you supposed to hit enter at the end of their lines? I didn't thinking of how a normal keyboard/ computer works.

Milt, i think you just type the paragraph and hit enter between paragraphs. When the time is up, it will stop by itself.

I am pretty fast. My generation used AOL AIM to learn how to type.

So far Gogar is the best secretary of the bunch. Must have been a court stenographer in a past life.

Last time I checked it was 85 or 90. When I started really typing fast was when I finally could keep my eyes off the keyboard and on what was coming on the screen.

75/62/90% - I so rely on automatic spellchecking so at some point my fingers seem to move on to the next word....

People sometimes poke their heads into my office to see who is typing so fast. I'm pretty darned fast.
