I figured I type around 65 wpm but didn't know, so I looked for an online typing test.

I type at 93 wpm. holy cow.

How about you?

Gross: 109 WPM

Net: 101 WPM

Accuracy: 92%

68 WPM, 98% accuracy.

I've actually used that site before to practice typing tests before I have a job interview. I have scored higher than that at times, and lower too. I seem to average between 65 and 72 wpm on the whole, with 92-97% accuracy overall.

So that begs the question- what's more important, speed or accuracy?

 

[Dirty Martini]

My speed includes backspacing, so I had 100% accuracy.

I guess that would imply, then, that I believe accuracy to be the most important.

 

[Azalea]

uhm. 54

(But my at least my accuracy was 100%, no backspacing.)

 

[Brandon]

My accuracy was with no backspacing too.

Not to derail the thread, but if you wanna play a fun typing-based game to up your speed you should check out TyperShark.

It's on Yahoo! games too but I think you have to be using IE to play it there.

Be warned, it's crack and has seemingly no end.

another good one is typing of the dead... you kill zombies by typing the words that are on them

 

[Dirty Martini]

ha, that sounds like Type or Die.

[Obladiblada]

[Cissy]

86 wpm, 100% accuracy

 

[jeneticallymodified]

48 wpm with 98% accuracy..... but it's 11:30pm, and i only ever use two fingers (hehe i'm one of those classy people who just types with their two index fingers) so i'm quite happy with that, to be honest!

 

[karenlovessnow]

70 WPM 100% accuracy.

 

[Gnome Chomsky]

gross speed: 51 wpm

net speed: 48 wpm.

yes, I'm a sucka mc.

ebola

 

[karenlovessnow]

50 words per minute is considered very good on the civil service test as long as your accuracy is very high. I think they allow for 2-3 errors.

 

[Elena99]

[VEGirl3]

Lets just say, s-l-o-w.

I don't type with proper technique though, I use two fingers on each hand.
