Typing Speed

[Fierce Critter]

Funny how many times I've been asked about this when meeting people at CC.

105 wpm last time I was tested.

And you?

[Homicidalheathen]

when I was working it was 75 so probably more like 55-60 now

[phee]

Not more than 3000

[Head Wreck]

depends on whether i'm touch typing, or 6 finger free float typing (in school i was given a laptop at 11, left uni at 20 after 9 years of doing 99% of all written work via a keyboard)

[Goth Brooks]

last time i was tested they said 75, the time before that was 112... so anywhere between there.

[saechalyn]

82 last time I was tested...but that was a while ago.

[Msterbeau]

Um...ah... well... er... Lemme get back with you on that.

[Lilith]

I really dont know probally like 4 or something cause i have never really tried or was ever tested to see what i could do. :erm I would never make it as a court reporter or anythng i know that much.

[kellygrrrrrl]

I don't know, I guessing like 50...I am a horrible typist.

I've never taken a test, but this post, for example, has taken me 15 minutes so far. Is that good?

Compared to me.... You're doing excellent. Keep up the good work!! :laughing

[JaneDead]

i forget... it has been awhile. i think 80 or 90 something? but i have to backspace and fix things. my fingers are dyslexic.

Last I checked, it was around 75. It varies widely though.

[Rayne]

Varies on the keyboard. Your standard desktop keyboard, I suck. Haven't had one in awhile to practice.

My old HP laptop, I tested at about 110.

Now I've switched to this new Toshiba laptop and have gotten some good practice in I test at about 100.

Also depends on what I'm typing. For instance, straight copy, I'm slower than if I just type what's in my head.

I tested about 96 wpm with errors.

I'm a lot faster without going from written text. Probably closer to 110 or more.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I tested 90 wpm with errors.

[LadyWindstone]

wow i suck. I'm only about 30 wpm with errors.

[JaneDead]

wow i really sucked. though i got better with each time i took it. i definately type better when it is right from my head or dicated rather than reading it on the screen.

what i noticed most was that i had a hard time typing the words i normally would not type. that slowed me down quite a bit.

[Brenda Starrr]

<~~Not even trying.

[Scary Guy]

Won't run on my browser, I hate java anyhow.

Last I knew of it was 45 wpm

I knew a guy who did 100, and he could keep a whole page in memory, he was also insane.
