Interesting test... I took "Tigers in the wild" during 3 minutes.

Gross speed : 57 wpm
Errors : 10 words
Net speed : 54 wpm
Accuracy : 94%

Not bad for a foreign language

The word "throughout" was especially nice... I think I spelled it "thourgouth" lol

Okay.

uh... gross of 84 wpm, net of 81, accuracy 96% (unfortunatly you couldn't jump around like you can in regular text boxes... I'm usally two to three words ahead of my fingers, jumping back a couple of words to correct something, then moving forward again)... that was a 'one minute, huckleberry finn' test...

Gross Speed: 66 WPM
Errors: 2 Words
Net Speed: 64 WPM
Accuracy: 96%

"Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative." -Steve Prefontaine

44 wpm.
1 error.


Ouch!! I certainly have droppped myy typing speed a bit in the apst few years.

Though I think that I types this post twice as fast as I did that test. Guess my strtegy of looking at the keyboard does not help when you are copying text.

I tried that test at home yesterday, and was extremely annoyed by the fact that you can't correct a word that is already written. I have the habbit to type on the fly and hit backspaces ( or the arrows ) to correct the words I just wrote. So my wpm was much lower than what it really as I wasted my time typing backspace in vain and then doing weird noise in return. ... I was in a noisy mood yesterday, after doing Coincoin ( see June 20lines javascript contest - Elements )

Is there a JavaScript or a PHP version ?

I type on the fly also, so was surprised at how low this was... I also type much faster when I'm thinking instead of trying to read something and type it. Too much going on at one time... But it is a respectable speed:

Gross Speed: 61 wpm
Errors: 1 word
Net Speed: 60 wpm
Accuract 98%

1 minute test...

Skaarjj how the hell do you type 112 words a minute?

He's lying his ass off.

My mom is a legal secretary and does about 120 - 145 WPM and she types all day everyday.

:::11oh1:::

"Strategic Alliances with Competitors" during 1minute
60 WPM, 0 errors. But I'm sure I type faster in a normal editor allowing backspace, SHIFT+arrow to quickly select and remove a misspelled word, etc...

Skaarj may have 6 fingers on each hand.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

nice..
haven't typed a paragraphed outline for a while..

gross speed: 75 wpm..
errors: 4 words..
net speed: 73 wpm..
accuracy: 97%..

yah!

90 WPM Net speed (98 gross), 91% accuracy.

That's pretty cool, considering back in high school I had around 50 or 60.


 

2:00 test on Strategic Alliances
61 gross WAM
04 errors
59 net WAM
96% accuracy

back in high school I got around 85 net, of course back then I was taking 2 to 3 classes a day with computers.




...Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most (ozzy osbourne)

Strategic Alliences with Competitors, 1 minute, Gross 43 WPM, 3 errors, Net 40 WPM. Accuracy 93%.
I normally do better than that, but I keep having to keep looking up at it, which makes me slower. It would be better if ithe site dictated it to you through the speakers. I can usually type as someone speaks as long as they're not really fast.

alter ego n. 1. Another side of oneself; a second self. 2. An intimate friend or a constant companion.

I got 65 WPM typing at a slow pace. 2 errors because of commas which would have been considered alright anyways.

I'm sorry krets...but is that aimed at me? I can sssure you my results were quite accurate. I worked for quite some time doing high speed data-entry. I know how to type quickly, and have alot of practice at doing it. So don't tell me I'm lying again.
