128wpm using the Strategic Alliance with Competitors test, at 98% accuracy. I fumbled a few times. I've tested as high as 165wpm in the past on different tests, so either those were easy, or this one is hard.

my first try on

test name: strategic alliances with competitors
gross speed: 73 wpm
errors: 4 words
net speed 69 wpm
accuracy: 95%

i think it gives me a 71 wpm rating.

BTW, I also type roughly 30 wpm on the Korean layout keyboard.

And also type 30-ish single-handed. :)

On average I probably get about 70-80

On a good day, when it just flows, I get 90 or so.

92wpm. I used to be faster, but I don't type as often anymore... :p

I type faster when thinking than when sight-reading, as well.

<< Oops, forgot to ask, what kind of keyboard Descartes? >>



Microsoft Natural at the moment. I can generally type faster on a normal keyboard, as that's what I learned on.



<< Descartes, do you code away C# at that rate too? >>



Not if I want it to build the first time w/o issue ;)

70-80ish as well.

Can type without looking ,but not comfortable with how to use the SHIFT key, and it slows me down. How can i learn to use shift key properly so it doesn't make my fingers all jumble up?

Which finger do you try to use for the shift key? You're supposed to use either "pinky", I have a particular affinity for my left.

Yah, me too, so much in fact that I wore out the left shift key that I used for three and a half years of college...;)
