Typing Speed: What's the maximum number of word per minute that you can type?

Hi Masmasika, I have never had my typing speed formally assessed but it is pretty fast. I know there have been times when I have told someone how long it took me to type something and they have been rather surprised ~ Laughs ~ Again though accuracy is a problem for me. I am lucky maybe in that I have started to type while on an exercise bike which means that one hand is glued to the laptop and can't move too far which has really helped my spelling and the placing of words. Normally when I am not on the bike I type faster but it is more all over the place which has put me off being assessed for the speed, I want to get better accuracy first. I do agree that typing fast is a great bonus though, it does wonder for covering mylot and putting down decent responses...though it does mean we finish things quicker which can lead to a little extra boredom lol All the best, Dranz

Yes I do type 45 word per minute in order to be accurate. Too fast have many errors and mistake. Try to be cool and safe.

About 78 WPM.. but that's plus and minus. If i'm to include in the mistakes and all, it'll be 91WPM...

Oh, boy, it has been many, many years since I have taken a timed typing test. In fact, I don't think I have taken one since my Freshman year in High School. Of course, those timed tests should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, typing a bunch of words that are already on screen can be one thing. However, typing straight from scratch and having to think is something else. I mean, truly there are times when you are typing one seven or eight word sentence and then pausing for about a minute because you are trying to think what to write next. That does not mean that you are a slow typist, just that you need time to think. However, I think I am down from my peak at that timed typing test. I believe it was something like 80 words a minute at my fastest speed. Of course, that is up for a lot of debate. I always slow down a lot but when my mind gets working, I can type pretty fast. Of course, there are times where my mind works faster than my fingers and thus I think too far ahead. That leads to a lot of spelling mistakes. I think I am a decent about 45-50 words, with obviously a lot of variables thrown in there.

I think my typing speed is the same as yours cause there are lots of times when I type something then I make mistakes. I only use my three fingers to type the letter and my thumb for the space. I dont get to use my little finger cause I am not really good in typing and I always look at the keyboard when I type something and I think that's the reason why I am really slow at typing.

According to FB's app, I can typ 105 WPM. :D

My maximum typing speed i ever recorded is 62 WPM with good accuracy very seldom i do mistakes in typing....and i think is far enough..

I think I average about 100 WPM. I can sometimes break 120 but I tend to slow it down because if I type too fast, I end up skipping words. I don't really misspell so much, I just skip entire words.
