Man......I suck.  I only got 68wpm.  I clocked at 95wpm using my own program.  Then again, my own program doesn't use just random words like that.  I think that's why I was so slow.  I had to think what I was going to type before I actually typed it.  I mean heck, I typed this entire reply in less than 35 seconds.  There's 60 something words in this reply so that's pretty good.

Oh and I'm on a laptop in bed and the laptop is on a stand that tilts the laptop a good 45 degrees.  That might also contribute to my bad score.

Typing incorrectly (ya know just using 2 fingers), I got 26wmp. :lol God I'm glad I know how to type.

64 WPM...  That's on a good day...  I'm sure on a bad day it's less than that, but I just came off a really crazy session of playing the NES version of Contra...  I have to remind myself that I no longer have the reflexes of an 11 year old spazz with a sugar overdose...  At least, not without sweating like a pig, a rapid heartbeat, and numbness in my left hand and pain up to my elbow...  ...Yeah, 15 minutes of that would tire anybody out.  Not to mention sweaty hands do not make for an easy time with typing, so, the adrenaline rush may have helped (but I still made a few mistakes), but the sweaty hands hindered it.  And now my rush is coming down, so I'm starting to slow down again...

Apparently keyboard size doesn't matter for me, because I just did this test on my laptop keyboard, and got 54 wpm. On my mom's laptop keyboard, which is smaller, I got my previous results.

Post by: landbeforetimelover on September 23, 2008, 02:35:30 AM
Typing on my desktop I got 70wpm.  I still blame it on the fact that I can't tell what the word really is half the time.  I've done this test several dozen times and I've NEVER once gotten 0 errors.  It's always something stupid too like I would type "begin" instead of "began".  I just can't read that fast.  I can type waaaaaaay faster than I can read and comprehend the words I'm typing when doing this test. :p

Okay, I did the test again, this time going at a comfortable speed and not even worrying about time and I got 72wpm.  It seems that it doesn't matter if I try my hardest or not.  I still get around the same time.

That's one thing I don't like about this test, LBTlover.  It is nice though, for getting a feel for copying text from a document or something, which is a useful skill in a lot of work/school situations.  This is even more challenging in that sense because the words are almost random.

Wow!  I actually found it!  The typing program I used to teach myself how to type correctly!  It was on my very old 32mb flash drive. :lol

Anyway, I don't think you can download it anywhere anymore, but you can download it from my server (yes it's back up.  Too lazy to redirect the URL right now though):

http://67.171.50.184:8081/Restricted%20Upl...utor25_free.exe (http://67.171.50.184:8081/Restricted%20Upload%20Folder/StaminaTypingTutor25_free.exe)

It's really a fun program, you can add your own images, it makes funny sounds when you mess up, and you can add your own documents to it!  I just go to a random website and copy and paste an article into the program.  Then you can read the article and practice typing at the same time! :D

When I was 6/7 I used a program to measure my speed with dutch words. That was fun, I remember.  :D

Okay guys here's my score:

164 points, so you achieved position 301008 of 540823 on the ranking list


You type 272 characters per minute
You have 41 correct words and
you have 2 wrong words

So that's 41 words per minute.

Although I have to admit that was kind of fun..I might do it again.

Post by: Littlefoot1616 on September 24, 2008, 12:20:26 PM
1st Attempt:

You type 317 characters per minute
You have 52 correct words and
you have 1 wrong words

2nd Attempt:

You type 319 characters per minute
You have 54 correct words and
you have 3 wrong words

I'll admit, I'm a very clumsy typist.  :lol I can type at a decent speed, but my problem tends to be that I hit multiple keys at once (as in attempt 2, I misspelt "man coz I hit the "n" key as well as the "m"). To this end, I normally end up having to re-type the bless-ed thing :P:
