Re: My typing speed

[sifukurt]

If anyone is interested, Brainbench has a fairly good typing test. It only takes about 15 minutes or so to take, and it gives you raw speed and speed corrected for errors.

Here's another one, which doesn't require you to register. Uses Java though, so Opera doesn't like it. http://www.typingmaster.com/java/ttapplet.htm

Interesting. 121 WPM with 74% Accuracy. I know 121 WPM is quite high, but is 74% accurate in relation to others?

And is this test anything like 'normal' tests you would see at training institutes? I learned to type by doing it often, using a variable amount of fingers, usually 7 or 9.

Which leads me to another question : HOW does everyone type? How many fingers, are there people who can type one-handed with decent speed?

Not too shabby: 187 WPM with 91% accuracy. I remember in College, my high was around 200WPM with >90% accuracy.

But as a comment, I dated someone back in the '90s who typed well over 250WPM. She was a medical transcriptionist ... and boy did she rake in the $$$'s.
