You any good at Typing?? Test Yourself Here

[Kunaak]

I see lots of little tests and such for people to take online, but one I never thought about taking till a moment ago is a typing test, till someone asked me a moment ago...

apparantly I suck at typing and can only do about 30 words per minutes... with about a 85% accuracy.

I can say however, in the last 2 years since I first began fiddling with computers that I have come a long ways and can now type without staring at my hands and clicking each button with my forefinger as I search for the next key ;)

how about you??

http://www.typingtest.com/

I guess I am just curious to see who can do it the fastest, with the highest accuracy :p:

[CTKP]

35wpm, 85% acc.
I don't do well reading and typing at the same time.

[blinky]

42wpm 81%

[D_o_S]

34wpm, 82%

[Jamo]

38wpm 86%, my mum beats the pants off me 63wpm 97% (she's a secretary BTW)

[damasta]

49 WPM and 95% accuracy :) or 57 wpm and 86 % accuracy ^^

[saaya]

gah! installing that st00pid plugin took like 5mins! :/

i cant go back and correct my mistakes if i slipped on the keyboard? how lame... :rolleyes: the other typing test i did once had this option, more realistic imo since you always mistype from time to time but usually correct it inmediatly...

anyways:
36wpm 75% accuracy for me in this test :D
reading the text and then write it really kills my speed as i cant write blind :D

ahhh missing or misplaced commata and not writing MR but mr also counts as errors? so thats why i got such a bad accuracy :D

[Jasonhk]

45wpm /73 Acc

[sandman]

54 wpm 88% accuracy. I only use like 4 fingers for it too.

[eshbach]

84WPM, 92% accuracy.

I can't read while typing though. :(

[L0$t Pr0PhEt]

73-75 WPM

I'll try with a better keyboard :p

[unixxx]

44 WPM @ 88%, though I type twice as fast from my head as when copying from text.

[mcnbns]

54wpm, 94% accuracy. (w00t! I'm not as slow as I thought I was.)

EDIT: Did the Huckleberry Finn one instead of the Strategic Alliances with competitors and got 68wpm, 95% accuracy. :banana:

[Jeff]

[Kunaak]

212 words per minute was her record with a 99.98% accuracy way back in the 1950's with a Dvorak keyboard.

[faruquehabib]

30 wpm, 93% accuracy. i still hunt and peck, and I'm a CIS major!!! lol

[black rose]

72 wpm, 96% accuracy :cool: small, nimble fingers and plenty of typing as of late.

[conrad.maranan]

60WPM, 100% accuracy. Not too shabby for someone who only uses thumbs and index fingers to type. :D

[rick_fx]

Well, 35 WPM, 92% accuracy :(

[Der_KHAN]

hmm 33wpm 100%.
slow precision - yep thats me :D

[RaptorRaider]

75 WPM with 94% accuracy. :)


Don't you guys think keyboards matter a little bit? I'm using a Logitech Ultra X, and I feel like I'm typing much faster with this keyboard than with my older ones.

[jayjaya29]

55WPM with 97% accuracy. :)

[trakslacker]

60 WPM, 94% accuracy. Good enough for me. :)

[sparkie34]

46wpm 95%

[Stang_Man]

Huckleberry Finn, 72WPM, 23 words, 60WPM, 84%

not bad for someone who's baked out of their mind! lol

[Semper Fi]

Huck Finn

86 WPM, 88% accuracy

[PS2pcGAMER]

Huck Finn

72WPM

95% accuracy


I typed it on a keyboard that I have only been using for a few days, so I am not quite used to it yet.

[MaxxxRacer]

Tigers in the Wild. 62WPM 6words 56WPM 90% Accuracy

Better than I thought.

[jjcom]

I got like 39 with 75% accuary...that really stinks. I think I need to try out another keyboard or something. My typing skills are much better than that...highlighted word liked to move around :S

jjcom

[MaxxxRacer]

jj, and your the news man.. boy oh boy. Todays top story "Entel releases 9.8ghz cpu"

lol. jk man :p:

[jjcom]

jj, and your the news man.. boy oh boy. Todays top story "Entel releases 9.8ghz cpu"

lol. jk man :p:

As long as its coming from my head, I'm fine. But having to read AND Type...well that changes things. lol

"Bintel Relases 6.45784r5w76u56 processor" :lol:

jjcom

[chr]

82 / 100

[nebuchanezzar]

37 and 85% but with their method I could save 2 days a year in typing!!! Oooohhh aaaahhhhhh

[Holst]

45 and 85%

I find it very hard to read and type, im much faster and more accurate when im thinking of what to type rather than having to read it.

I ended up being quicker memorising each sentence, then typing it. But then I spelt two words wrong LOL.

I dont do allot of typing, so im not too upset that im rubbish at it.

[Damien]

68 wpm, 97% accuracy

[evetS-]

83WPM, and 100% accuracy. I don't think this test was all that good...

[isp]

72WPM, 100% acc.
I think having a good keyboard helps, I have a soft keyed recessed laptop style.

I'm self taught too, I don't use the traditional style, ie "home rows" etc.

Sadly, all of those single errors are from the last word not being finished at the buzzer >=(

[Stewie007]

By the way, you CAN correct errors as long as you don't hit the space bar. If you go by the word it is accurate to say that you missed it, since when you aren't being tested you would have made the error and wouldn't have gone back because it WOULDN'T have been in red. :p

[KieutNinjah]

58WPM 98%, I think this test is wrong, I usually type at like 30 WPM... I dunno, maybe ;)

[skate2snow]

44, 100%.... Although I am not on my logitech keyboard but on my old compaq.... I guess an EASY 10WPM more with the logitech...

When you think of it I can type a whole Review of 8 pages in less then an hour... lol

[Stewie007]

I'm using a Microsoft Natural Keyboard, the multimedia version. I've gotten so used to this layout that I cant type for :banana::banana::banana::banana: on any other board.

[DudeMiester]

65wpm with 95% accuracy. However, having to read from the thingy and type it at the same time really slows me down. I think actually my typing speed is closer to about 90wpm.

[gkiing]

87WPM net and 96% accuracy. When i type If I hit the wrong key I usually know without looking at the screen and go back to fix it. If I went all out without stopping I think I could get a little higher but less accurate.

[skate2snow]

haha! 87 with 2 errors.... The problem are the last letters because normally you catch your error 2 letters after you typed it (for me at least) so you only catch it after it is locked.....

[Xyus89]

[computerpro3]

Test: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Gross Speed 108WPM
Errors 10
Net Speed 98WPM
Accuracy 90%

I'm gonna break 100 adjusted if its the last thing I do.

I also think this test is bunk because I scored 120+ adjusted in my school class. Although, I was more familiar with that material.

And no, I'm not lying, I'm an amature concert pianist (Rachmaninoff, Rhapsody in Blue, etc).

Self taught; never used that home-row method.
