Comp / Tech How Fast can You Type?

My first run-through was 58 WPM (275 CPM), with an accuracy of 98%.

I used to be around 70, though, so... :\

 

1st try: 44 WPM, 194 CPM, and 95% accuracy.
2nd try: 39 WPM, 177 CPM, and 92% accuracy.
3rd try: 44 WPM, 193 CPM, and 95% accuracy.
Simply stated: I’m a slow typer. Mostly because I type with only my index fingers, which probably isn’t a good habit.

 

Let me try this test three times just to find an average (cause I'm a math whiz, not a computer nerd).
1st: 44 WPM; 193 CPM 88% Accuracy.
2nd: 46 WPM 196 CPM 95% Accuracy.
3rd: 46 WPM 202 CPM 96% Accuracy.
So, I type slow, I have a horrible accuracy, and I can't type worth tailbone. Go figures, even as a storywriter.

 

1st: 52 WPM / 234 CPM / Accuracy: 89%.
2nd: 65 WPM / 279 CPM / Accuracy: 95%.
3rd: 63 WPM / 282 CPM / Accuracy: 95%

If i didn't hesitate my score would probably be higher. oh well.

We'll call my first attempt a warm up as well lmao

Spoiler: This might be my limit tbh

 

I hit 51 WPM (225 CPM) with 100 accuracy. I find that test especially hard with my dyslexia, usually when I already know the words in my head, I'm faster.

 

First time I tried, I hit 52 WPM (223 CPM) with 96% accuracy. I couldn't help but fix some of my mistakes due to OCD.

 

My shitty hands do not type well at all, I can't even manage 20

 

My first try was 29 WPM and 124 CPM. My best was 37 WPM and 154 CPM. So, I'm not that fast, but hey.

 

I took it twice, and was an octopus both times.
77 words, 353 characters, 91% accurate.
80 words, 342 characters, 94% accurate.

I type properly with my left hand, but my right hand I use only my index finger plus spacebar right thumb only, so I'm moving my right hand a lot. I blame PC games where my left hand stays steady on WASD and my right hand moves the mouse all over the place.

It's not a good habit, but it's also not a bad habit unless you have a job of typing. Index finger typing does slow you a bit (since there's more travel distance for just one finger instead of 3-4 splitting it), but you might also be putting strain on your wrist or even other joints up your arm. Unless it's part of your job, I recommend you just do what feels best for you!

That 100% accuracy though. And there is certainly a psychological brain-processing difference between typing the random abstract words you're told and the words generated by what your brain wants to say. I won't be surprised if your actual typing speed is quite a bit faster than the test indicated.

 

I tried once and I got 42 WPM and 190 CPM with a 100% accuracy but i was really struggling to get it that way.

 

88 WPM, although I think I could have been a teensy bit faster if I wasn't so obsessed with getting 100% accuracy and didn't panic towards the end trying to squeeze in as many extra words as I could.

My typing is kinda weird as I often use two fingers, but I can touch-type using both hands when I'm not really thinking about it...it's when I stop and realise what I'm doing that I switch back to two fingers because I lose my co-ordination. xD

 

I'm not doing the test, I hate typing on an iPad, where I only get around 58wpm. On pc, though, I type even faster than our technology teacher, even in the same year we had his class. He typed at an average of 70wpm, while I had a whopping 80wpm on the first day we tested it. At the end of the year my typing speed average was 88wpm, with an 96% average accuracy rate.

 

I chicken peck so not very fast. maybe 40 to 50 wpm or so depending on what I am typing.
