How fast can you type?

Tekno Venus · Aug 29, 2013

Many of my friends have commented that I can type fairly fast. So I decided to put it to the test by using this website: Typing Test by Speed Typing Online - Easy, Free Online Typing Test

My results, best of three tests:

Speed: 69 WPM
Accuracy: 95.4%

Not actually that great!

So, can anyone better me? Who has the fastest typing speed at Sysnative?

Post your test results here!

Did it once:

Speed: 63 WPM
Accuracy: 94.7%

But I haven't had my morning coffee yet. I'll give it another shot this afternoon.

On the note of typing speed do you follow the homerow typing style? I've found I've bastardized it into homerow typing on my left hand and some cockeyed weird thing with my right hand. But it works.

I tried learning how to touch type with the home row, but never found it worked for me. I've just learnt were the keys are over the years and can press them without looking. I don't use any kind of formal typing style. It's only recently I've been able to type accurately without looking at my fingers though.

Don't ask me to take the test on anther keyboard though! Because of the way I type, I am far, far faster on my own kb than any other kb.

I'm usually at about 80 WPM, which is neither great nor terrible, however, at the moment, I've just changed keyboards so am down at 55 WPM, 93.4% accuracy.

I'm fairly consistent across multiple keyboards. I don't type enough (or care enough) to get any faster. I'm probably one of the quickest in my office when it comes to not looking at your hands and typing. (The boss's assistant is crazy, her fingers never stop moving. She has to be over 100 WPM with almost no errors)

I cheated through my typing class. I "peck" the keys. It might not be "Proper" but it's fastest for me and error free, that is once I get used to the keyboard.

Depends on which two fingers I'm using and if I'm using both simultaneously. :smile9:

I did better the first time round, but this is roughly my average score:

Tekno Venus · Sep 2, 2013

I feel slow now!

Will · Sep 2, 2013

At the other end of the scale, if I'm using a pen and paper I can probably manage about 12 WPM? :lol:

Indeed. My handwriting is essentially chicken scratch. My signature is almost impossible to reproduce because it's different every time :grin1:

Laxer · Sep 2, 2013

I was at 101 with 95.5% accuracy.

I've certainly slowed down but, oh well.

Laxer · Sep 2, 2013

After about an hour this is what I ended up with...

Used to be just slightly faster :thud:

Patrick · Sep 2, 2013

I think 122 WPM was the fastest I've ever typed at a consistent rate. My peak is ~150 and then I slow down to 120s.

Will · Sep 3, 2013

I slowed down the more I tried. I'm annoyed people are beating me though, so this isn't the end... :lol:

I think my fingers would ignite if I reached 120+
