Typingtest.com - what is your average typing speed? ^_^

mines about 35, often with one hand, usually got a kid or a pet sat on me, could be why I make so many errors

21wpm i still suck with 4 fingers.

Thanks for the link, I didn't do so good, oh well, I can practice and get better. I took typing in high school, I was better then.

cool!...mine was 79wpm :p

My WPM averaged about 40 WMP. This ain't to bad I don't guess since I just woke up and am drinking my first cup of coffee. Plus I have not had to type for speed in many a moons. Back in my school days when I was learning to type my WMP was about 80 to 90 WMP. Very interesting site I have never seen that before thanks for sharing :)

Mine was 68 wpm but thats because im fairly new to using a computer and havent had that much practice typing.

Well for me I can type faster if I am just posting and thinking what I am going to post but having to keep looking up at a scene drastically lowers my typing score for sure. I have 37 words per minute trying to read and type at the same time. I can type way faster then that though if I am typing my own thoughts.

I hate typing tests....I suck.

I have tried several times to take those typing tests and I always mess it up some how. It never turns out right. I know how fast I type and it always says that I type slower than I really do.

it's a really fun test to do. i was pretty nervous about it as it's been quite some time since i took a test. i did the one about the typewriter, can't remember the name of the article already. it's a 3 min test for me as i want to know what kind of speed i can sustain. turn out i wasn't typing as fast as i'd like. there are a few mistakes made too. ;p

When I was very young, a teenager, in fact, I was advised to learn typing. Rather than go to a school to learn I bought the text books on typing and taught myself at home on my typewriter. Of course, I learnt to type with two fingers. Years later, I got a job as a typist and discovered, to my amazement, that my speed was just as good and acceptable as a trained typist on all ten fingers. I kept the job for four years and still type with two fingers.

Pretty cool... my typing speed was 65 wpm on the same one you did, the Wizard of Oz paragraph. Nice for people who need to know how fast they actually can type. Plus, it is great practice as well!

So that was FUN! It reminded me of when I was in business college and had to do the timed typing tests..ha...I didn't do too bad..I think the name of the test I chose was something like the "enchanted typewriter" and I actually got 72 wpm with an accuracy of 100%...YAY! Thanks for sharing that link.

Wow! I thought I was the only geek that did that. I go to that website all the time to polish up on my typing skills. Alot of people are weirded out by that. lol

I know I can type faster then 54, but that is what I got. lol But I am on a laptop too, which isn't as easy (I think) to type at a good spee and have your hands at the right angle to type. lol I'll have to come back once our regular computer is up and running to test it again.

I know that site, I got 40 wpm with 96% accuracy. I don't know if it's ok. Maybe it is just 40% because I have to copy what I am reading and from time to time and I have to stop unlike when you are just typing what's in your mind.

That was fun :). For some reason, I can never get above 60 wpm. I even took 2 full years of typing in high school, but just can't build my speed up further than that. I'm not terribly coordinated, maybe that has something to do with it. I typed the tiger paragraph.

mine is 70 - 80 letters per min

Hello shywolf, I was a bit nervous when I took the test *laughs* Anyway, mine is 43 WPM. I think it is an average. I normally type quite fast but I don't know that my typing speed is only above average. Ahh... I feel a bit sad!

I can type around 47 wpm. Not great but I think I'm going to start practicing and see if I can get up to at least 55 wpm with little error. And it would help if the kids would be somewhere else. Thanks for sharing.
