See how fast you can type

Words Per Minute

Back in university I took a typing class (I needed the 1 credit) and I ended up breaking the university record with 77 word per minute (deducting the mistakes). The teacher used to hate me but she couldn’t do much since I just kept typing faster then any of her other students.

Anyway found this cool site that tests how fast you type. I just got such a rush from this since and I am currently pumped full of adrenaline.. I love trying to type as fast as possible I don’t know why. The stupid thing with this test though is that if you make a mistake you HAVE to fix it or else you won’t be able to finish the test. Its really annoying but adds to the challenge. The highest score I got was 84.51 words per minute. Sounds fast until you realize that the worlds fastest typist was an old woman who hit 212 words per minute.. [Link]

lol awesome. I remember in grade 5 and grade 6 we had the same computer lessons with the same teacher. Old grumpy man. You were forced to use the asdf route which i believe is pretty gay and will never be as fast as your fingers pressing sperately on each button. The whole class cheered me on as i was the fastest but the teacher always criticized i didnt use asdf, well fuck you i owned his bitchass. Geeky but ownage geeky 🙂

116.88 with 3 mistakes. Not as fast as Mo Hat, but I surprised myself. I thought I was closer to 77wpm.

Pretty hardcore.. You speed junkie you ;p

No realistic measure, my highest score on Mavi’s Typing software was 72 WPM and now on this it’s 109.12?? no way, it aint acurate at all. I’m a coder, I live on typing!

OMG, you guys are machine guns!!!! I suck on typing, and the problem is that I though I was fast!!!! I had 33.82 and 147.64 cpm.!!!!!

hell yeah i look away from keyboard. Thats a sign of being fast. Looking down at keyboard is slooowww.

I tried it and I got 35 wpm 🙁
I’ve always been a slow typer. I never really understood why people think it is important to type fast. Its not like our livelihoods depend on it. Except for secretaries!

not on my pc, in a new cafe, with my right hand (left is disabled) i got 40 something and posted it on my blog as i also linked to your blog mark. nice post 😉

178.8 WPM. 1 mistake. I’m beginning to believe that my skills in piano have developed due to my typing ability. Anyone know anything about that and how the brain works…in terms of typing/piano?
