What's your WPM?

[neovan]

So....How many words can you type per minute?

 

[notfred]

What word? I can to "of" more times per minute than "gubernatorial".

 

[KeyserSoze]

I actually have a pretty good WPM, cuz of my seven years of piano lessons. (Who's making fun of who NOW?) 😛


On average, between 95-103, but I have gotten 108 a few times on typing tests.

I can type like 50-60 WPM using standard QWERTY. I'm learning Dvorak and am atounf 40WPM now...i expect to be as high as 70-90 when i've mastered it. 😉

I think a more important question is, what's the accuraccy. I can easily type 150 WPM, but dont' expect it to look like much. 😛 I've got about 95% acc. at 50WPM

 

[Radiohead]

One WPM, give or take a 80

 

[Ylen13]

70-80 with accuracy of 95% when i used to practice. Now like 60 with about 90% accuracy. My mom on the other hand can do 100-100 with about 97% accuracy.She finished piano music school

I cruise around 80 but my peak is around 150. Error-free, QWERTY, and I don't type the "normal" way with home row and stuff.

Between 60 and 70

 

[zCypher]

100wpm give or take 20 with factors such as fatigue/indolence affecting me. Also the type of keyboard I'm typing on makes a difference on how fast I can type. Larger more spaced apart keys will be slower...

anyway, I don't make many mistakes, and when I do make them I correct them as I go.

 

[Akira13]

I haven't tested since the 7th grade. I think I was at 40-50 back then, but that was 9 years ago, and I've done many a term paper since then. Are there any apps to test this? Any websites?

About 45-50 with very few errors. I guess I'm kinda slow because I don't truly touch-type, I kind of do but I look at the keyboard anyway.

Now, 10-key, I kick ass at... being an accountant that's probably more important. 😛

Meh, isn't the world record like 130?

I often type with one hand (that's multi-tasking); I type about 50% faster with two hands. Some guy seemed thoroughly impressed at how quickly I could type with one hand, yet I've never felt the need to guage it.

I'm pretty sure this is a repost...

but it's a fun addictive game.

It's around 230, and that's with a dvorak keyboard 😉

I have been tested as high as 160wpm when speed typing on QWERTY. That generally exhausts me after a minute or so of typing, so I average around 140wpm when "normal" speed typing. I'd say I'm around 100-125wpm when typing casually.

It's funny to see people's reaction when they first see me start typing...

My brother is on this endless quest to rack up his WPM... i've seen him do 350-400 WPM but that's only for a minute... hahaha... 😛 i seriously don't think he could keep that up after that... 😀

Um... 400 wpm if he's smashing the keyboard...

 

[Atlantean]

Mine is usually around 70 wpm. It depends on what I am typing though.

 

[StageLeft]

Well over 100 I don't really know though. I've had many people comment on it. Anandtech is good training 😉

i dunno he goes to some typing WPM site everyday and sits there for like an hour... he wants to make into the top ten or something... 😕

 

[Mr N8]

I have a pathetic 40 - 50 wpm. I make so many mistakes, that I'm always going back and fixing stuff.

25-40
