What's your typing speed?

holyfrozenbadguys · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 4:18 pm What's your typing speed?**

Hey all. I was just wondering what everyone's typing speed was? Mine is just under 117 correct words a minute (I should be at like 119, but I only have 98% accuracy.) What's yours?

CWAM is short for Correct Words a Minute. If you don't know, try this test (warning: the results are not 100% accurate!)

Choose CPM, do a one minute test and divide your resulting number by four, and that's your typing speed, about. (your actual typing speed may be up to 5 or 6 words faster or slower).

Is there a test you can do to find out? I'll guess about 70 but I'm not too sure.

I added a test to my first post. It's not all the way accurate, but it gives you a good guess at least.

I had to take one of those tests when I was applying for jobs. I'm at 45 wpm. pretty average.

I'm 75 WPM and higher. But I also have my slow moments.

Defiant · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 6:09 pm**

Oh, im about an 85% accuracy. I mis-type sometimes.

I'm not gonna tell you what I got

But it's cheat! english isn't my main language...

Defiant · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 6:11 pm**

Aww...what is? And how fast can you type in your native language?

superwoman · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 6:19 pm**

)
Don't have a test in swedish thou... aw to bad...

Defiant · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 6:41 pm**

Well, about how fast do you type in Swedish? Guess!

sabertooth1217 · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 8:59 pm**

I don't know how to type

Defiant · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 9:03 pm**

LOL. Its ok, we can help. The first step is admitting it.

sabertooth1217 · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 9:05 pm**

I've tried to learn now for over 5 years, i have two progs to teach you (one is talking typing teacher othere is expert typeing) but no matter how long i do i can't learn how to do it correctly. All that i know is the home row. asdfjkl;

Sam Kenobi · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 9:39 pm**

I just write a lot, but I can't type nearly as well if I'm not looking at the keyboard. I usually don't have to copy stuff with typing, so I really have no reason to learn to type without looking... I sort of can. I guess I should practice that more

sabertooth1217 · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 9:53 pm**

Just went thought the home row lession and got 40 wpm!

*so happy*

Kate Janeway · **Sat Jul 24, 2004 10:36 pm**

I'd say I'm about 70.... 80-some in a good mood.

GhostOfAMemory · **Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:14 am**

Mine says...

Gross speed: 292 CPM
Errors: 3 words
Net speed: 277 WPM
Accuracy: 94%

It also says I typed very well, if that means anything

Defiant · **Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:58 am**

Impressive. Very impressive.

Unfortunately, it is false. The top 100 of the week states the best time as a net speed of 161 WPM. Sorry mate.

Oliver · **Sun Jul 25, 2004 9:15 am**

I got a CPM of 191 and a accuracy of 96%.

I'm too lazy to figure out my CWPM but my AWPM (adjusted words per minute) is somewhere between 100 and 140 even though mavis says I'm only at 84

Toad · **Sun Jul 25, 2004 10:24 pm**

I'm between flying fingers and pecking fingers. I'm not bad.

- Test Name: Huckleberry Finn
- Date: 2004-07-26 14:01
- Test Time: 01:00
- Gross Speed: 219 CPM
- Errors: 2
- Accuracy: 95%

- NET SPEED: 209 CPM

That gives me a WPM of around 52, which isn't bad when you're half asleep, with a baby on your lap trying to type for you

I'm probally like 30 or 40. But hey, i'm a network guru, not a data entry receptionist
