Do you type REALLY fast?

I took typing when I was in high school & I've been typing since. I don't think I'm really that fast. I can only average around high 50's to low 60 words per minute, 57 - 64 words per minute. I know this one person who was clocked at 127 words per minute. Her fingers were so fast they where almost invisible, lol.

hi reinydawn.. lol interesting topic..im not a 10 fingers typer tho, maybe just 8 fingers lol but i do type fast. i tested it using the Kiran Typer Tutorial, and i result 44,4 word per minute with 300 key per minute. it was actually because i first found a game software, Typer Shark from PopCap.com, it was a good game n challenging. well, not every1 has a skill for that reinydawn. sometimes it does need a tallent or just a good intensive practise to reach that level. so, as long as each person can type enough, its already ok =)

I think I type pretty fast too. I am also a full hand typer, I put all my fingers on the keyboard properly. Actually how I came to type fast is through practising. I used to like chatting online with friends a lot, and my typing speed keeps improving by that.

I got me an electric typewriter at a garage sale one time and I went to the library and got me a book to teach myself how to type. I did take typing for a 1/2 semester in junior high school but was not really into learning how then. I do use both hands and place my hands on the keys the "proper" way. I type pretty fast. My grandson types using the 2 finger method and he is soooo fast with his typing. He amazes me. My daughter and I are wondering when he does get old enough to take typing if he will be able to learn or will just continue the way he is now. I do think he probably types faster than I do now and he just turned 11. My husband is a two finger typer and he is sloooooow.

i dont really type fast but I'm on the process of practicing it. I want to master typing using the right method. I am used at using my 2 middle fingers in typing because i find it more convenient and more faster.

I use mainly my pointer and middle finger to type. I don't use the home keys though to type. It is funny i am very good at typing and very fast but when i try to use the home keys i just mess up and it looks like i never typed a day in my life! I know that is how they tried to teach us in like elementary school and i was just horrible at it. I just type away with out thinking about how to type or the correct wya to type and it works out for me. I never look at the key board when i type seems like i do better with out looking at the key board and i hardly ever look at the monitor when i type either i am to busy talking to someone else or watching TV or doing just what ever else that doesn't have me looking at the monitor and i make very little to no typing errors and i ended up teaching my self how to type by talking to people on line mainly and by coming on sites like this Ive been typing since like middle school now and I'm 20 and i am really good at it. I need to find a job where i can just sit there and type all day its what I'm good at!

i am a fast typer.. i have learn to type in grade school, and some in highschool and college..we are taugth of some methods like the qwerty thing.. i have not followed it though, or maybe i have but have not really thought about it, because i have learn to type without looking at the keyboard already at school.

well.. i typed the A-Z letters is about 4.12~ seconds once.. and typed about 100 words in english and 60seconds.. is that fast ? you make the choice

I use both hands, and I don't have to see the keys either. I am a pretty fast typer, my typing at least stands a chance of keeping up with my creative thinking when I write books! I never went to a class or anything, so I don't know what the proper keys are or anything, though. I pretty much taught myself. Only took a few times online to elarn how to type, and just a couple weeks more to get used to it.

my typing speed no matter how i do it is about 26 to 30 wpm. I am just not that fast. But as long as I can type and get my point across I guess it doesnt matter how fast i type. I do hate typos though and am one to do many of those.

I use all my fingers when I type, and I can say that I type fast, but not without mistakes, I don't know how many times I've had to use the backspace bar, I learned to type in high school, but I went for years without typing until I got a computer, then I had to relearn it. My husband is the two fingers kind, at first it took him along time to type something, he would ask me to come and type it for him, but since he's been using the computer, he's getting good at it, he's almost as fast as me now...haha.

Very fast! So fast infact that the keyboard starts smoking! I always make sure my fingers find those home keys and then I'm typing away like there's no tomorrow. I think that typing skills are essential for today's environment with the Internet and so forth. I learnt my touchtyping skills at the age of sixteen, I went to this business administration centre and I'm really glad that I did this. Anyway, there are lots of free programs on the net that allow you to hone your typing skills. I practice constantly so that I won't become rusty! I think you need to take a rest from the keyboard when you do a lot of typing as you find that your fingers start to ache, at least mind do! Anyway, I find it much easier to write letters and as a result of my typing ability, my friends sometimes ask me to type letters for them. Andrew

Ive been tyting for a long time but wouldnt say Im really fast. I dont type in the conventional way and use only 4 fingers usually. I have tried typing with all fingers but it takes a while to learn and be fast at it. Plus I find it easier typing with 3/4 fingers, the only problem is spelling mistakes are pretty frequent.

I am pretty fast. I learned to type in High School, and I received an award for my typing skills. My boyfriend also does the 2 finger typing, but he gets the job done, so I guess whatever works for you, right? I cant imagine typing with just 2 fingers. Once you know where all the keys are typing is simple. I guess it's just about how much time you want to put in to learn.

No I don't type fast. I think I am an average typist. If I typed faster, I may get more mylotting done. Working from home would be more of a breeze too.

Hi i used to be very slow and chicken peck . That whole line would of took a long time LoL. I kinda taught myself the computer and got much better over time . Right now im not the fastest typer , but pretty fast and most times i dont look down , and think my hands do what they should .

No my typing is slow but I think with a bit more practice it will become faster I only type with one finger hehe so that might be why my typing is so slow.

My typing is in between no fast and not slow. I took typing classes and I start off with my fingers on the homerow keys and in about 2 sec they are all over the place. I guess because I know where the keys are that helps a lot.

hi. I use all my fingers in typing. I did not undergo any typing lessons. I learned it in College where there are so much papers of pass to make it for graduation. If you ask me which letter will be typed by a particular finger, I can't answer you. But once my fingers are already set at the keyboard, as if they have their own minds. So far I can type 40-42 words per minute. I do not know if that seems fast to you. happy myLotting.

well by no means am i a bad type by i only use two or as many as five fingers i dont use all of them i dont need to and i can still type about 70 words min its hard but i can do it it took me a long time to be able to type that fast but some people can do it ten time faster than that it makes me wonder how the hell they can do it so fast
