I took this typing skills test just to see how my typing was holding up. I successfully typed 283 correct keys/minute which equates to 56 words/minute. Not too shabby considering I was typing on my tiny laptop keyboard. For the record, the average is 228 keys/minute, so at least I beat that. I want to know who those guys are that are scoring 90 correct wpm. My biggest handicap was correctness. I think that I may still have mild dyslexia (which I had as a child), because I often transpose letters when I type.
UPDATE: Taking it over, I was able to get my WPM up to 60 (301kpm), on a regular keyboard. Personally, I don't like the test, because the sentences you type lack proper structure and punctuation. It is almost like they are throwing hurdles at you. If the sentences made any sense and didn't not have no good grammars, it'd be a lot easier.
How did you score?
words per minute :24
Now you know why it took me nine months to pass an intro typing class in college...
Posted by: Dave at May 15, 2003 1:53 PMSame as you (well, 282 keys/min). Lots of mistakes, though, more than I usually make when typing what I'm thinking, so I'm inclined to agree with you that the test isn't terribly accurate. Of course, if you're doing dictation or transcription, I guess it would be more accurate.
Posted by: Steve Gigl at May 15, 2003 2:41 PMhehe, 96 wpm, and that's after hitting the backspace repeatedly (kept messing up because of the way the sentences were written). only two errors that i didn't catch. first try.
if you want something more accurate, try http://www.typingtest.com/ your typing material actually makes sense there.
