How Fast Can You Type?

[op2rules]

Hey I was just wondering how fast everyone here can actually type There are 2 kinds of typing tests btw, there are some that use the 5 character = 1 word method, and others that use random words. Also some tests are loaded with texts that contain quotation marks, capital letters, and all that crap, while others have almost none, so you might wanna take a few tests (or do the ones I did).

 

Either way, this is the first test I did... It was the Astronaut test for 1 minute. Here were my results:

You can do this test @ http://www.typingtest.com/

 

Next I did a different test, this test used common everyday world words and had you type em out as fast as you could, here are my results:

First Attempt : 103 with 1 mistake

Second Attempt : 100 with 0 mistakes

Third Attempt : http://a.imagehost.org/0486/1_127.png

 

You can do this test @ http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com/

 

 

Now I'm also quite away there are like 100 different ways to fake your test results (Cheat engine, macro, firebug, photoshop, etc) but I'd just ask you don't fake your results, slow typing speeds are nothing to be worried about, in fact it might actually be something good, sorta like the whole "I have a life" thing .. It's all in perspective.

 

Anyways, I wasn't sure where my typing speeds stood with the rest of the world, so I figured I'd post up this and see what you all get!

About the same. Used to type 20wpm faster. Can still do that, but my fingers/wrist aren't feeling well.

i remember doing some of these a few months back. the type where random words were just spewed out. the best i did was 124 wpm with 0 errors but i'd say on average i did about 110-115 with 0-2 errors

 

edit: i was browsing through all the random threads i've created on tw forums through the years and stumbled upon this one: http://forums.trenchwars.org/showthread.php?35400-abc-test&highlight=

its a timed alphabet typing test, my record was 2.325 seconds

1 word per minute. 75 errors. I win.

the 4 words that i typed wrong were just things that I was reading wrong or got my timing messed up like:

 

fast computer pencil subject scene

fast computerp encil subject scene

bang 2 words wrong

 

then I would do something like

helicopter president almost forgiving

I type at 50 to 60 WPM, and it's plenty fast enough. I can't think much faster than that, really.

Well this comes as a surprise to me.

Aiye, I find typing any faster than 70WPM for longer than a few minutes absolutely exhausting.

[L.C.]

L Y N X does make a good point. I usually type between 70-90 naturally without thinking about it or even trying. I attain higher speeds when, for some reason, I'm more energetic and hyperactive. ;o

 

My natural speeds used to be in the 110-120 range, but that was like when I was 10-13 years old.

[★ Purge]

Yeah, I do around 60 WPM, too. But that's because I'm not any sort of typist by profession.

[Dr Brain]

The fastest typist on record types at an average speed of 150 WPM, with a top around 210. So really I don't believe any of you guys are being honest.

I'm pulling my numbers from actual speed competitions and practice.

I can type normally at an average speed of about 85wpm.. but I can top out at around 110-130

Typing speed is synonymous with fapping speed.

Joe: hey man

Tom: hey

Joe: how was your day

Tom: good, i typed up an interoffice memo at 63 wpm today!

I got a little higher before but I think this isn't too bad

BTW if anyone here is a web developer, messing with this game is quite interesting. It's mostly client sided javascript but it it is most interesting indeed!

[Cheese]

i fail to see what typing speed has to do with javascript games

Indeed, the fastest typist on record is a joke, as are most other "record" holders.

I learned to type by programming a lot. Is there a programming version?

[Cheese]

start=getticks();

text=origtext;

while(text)

{

getkb();

text--;

}

println(origtext/(getticks()-start));

[spidernl]

start=getticks();

text=origtext;

while(text)

{

getkb();

text--;

}

println(origtext/(getticks()-start));

 

Knowing your coding 1337-ness, odds are at least half of that code doesn't work.
