How fast do you type?

[justoh]

I stumbled upon this site recently and apparently can easily get in the 99th percentile (/flex :biggrin. How about you? Who is the fastest person on anandtech?

Nothing special, but zero missed words right after waking up is about all I can ask for at 5:30am.

Nah, it is quite safe and it's not spam. I am not affiliated with whoever maintains it. This is my profile with some speeds for comparison. http://10fastfingers.com/user/319091/

Doesn't seem to load right in Chrome. I recall my speed is 120 ish but who knows where it is now...

84 wpm.

I am disappoint.

(though I was slumping in the chair and at completely the wrong angle to the keyboard, that's my excuse).

Not my best, but not too bad for me not having slept since Wednesday night. Yay insomnia

OP's max was 159... although he did it multiple times. But thanks!

I wish the words were in one long, continuous, streaming line. Threw me off when I reached the end and it suddenly jumped up an inch

The tests are different every time you refresh, so taking them multiple times isn't really advantageous apart from warming up. Though I think my first test I probably scored about the same or worse, so you done good! lol and no incorrrect keystrokes. nice.

My max at 100% used to be 139 WPM, but my average is probably closer to 90-95.

I'm gonna go with warm up. These things are more about reading the next word while you type, at least for me... not what I usually do when I'm typing.

Curious, did you actually practice typing to increase your speed? Or did it just sort of come naturally as time passed?

bleh, i just woke up and i feel like i can't fully concentrate. i'd say my max would be aboud 125-130.

 

[xeledon20005]

getting 97 at work but I am using a shitty keyboard =/

 

[Chiropteran]

42 WPM, I win. This is like golf scoring, right?

 

[DeadFred]

I started tyoing this response 3 minutes ago.....at 8:27 am.

dang I even made a typo....

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

I love how everyone comes up with some excuse as to why their score isnt higher
"Just woke up" "Didnt sleep last night" "My keyboard sucks"

Anyway, heres my modest attempt:

I dont think its possible to do much better with peck typing

 

[Tweak155]

I think I'm around 90. Don't really care as it isn't my job (not sure why you would otherwise?). If you can do at least 60 you're in good shape for most positions out there. Outside of minutes in a courtroom or something similar, not sure why you'd need more.

EDIT:

Yeah first try was 94, second was 97. But I'll blame it on the band aid on my finger!!!

 

[rudeguy]

fast enough

I rarely type out anything longer than a couple paragraph email. Accuracy is much more important to my needs than speed.
