I think they reckon that a word is 5 letters average. In Denmark, we use letters per minute. My last test was just under 200 a minute, which isn't that fast. :( Of course, it also depends how many mistakes you make! :eek:

WOW!!! I've been out of practice!!!
My top speed, was only 57, but I was giggling too.( and you with your 140 wpm!!)
When I was taking college courses, in the 90's, my top speed was only 96, correct words per min.
computer keyboards are condensed, not requiring a forceful fingerstroke.
I still have a very old "Royal" typewriter :eek: , I bought it at a yard sale a long time ago for $10.00. I never used one of these before buying this one. It is ancient!!! yet, beautiful!!!
I learned how to type on the good old 60's models, then, whoopie, electric typewriters were introduced.
I loved taking this test, thank-you!!!! Fun, fun, fun!!!!
I'm rubbing my hands together, getting ready for another try at it later on. :D

I am striving to type this perfect.
I can get into the 70's, but a lot of capitalization is missing, and some mis spelled words.
Whew, this takes practice.

I never do as well under pressure either, because I think too much about it and try too hard. I think my best tested score was 106 wpm, but I type for a living. I think I could do a bit better but again I always fumble under the pressure of a test :p. Of course true typing ability has less to do with actual speed and more to do with accuracy and the ability to keep up a decent speed over time. Typing "fast" gets awfully hard after you've been doing it for four hours straight.
And, of course, the 300 score I posted isn't real.. That particular test has a way to "cheat" on it ;).

My average speed according to that test is somewhere in the 104-110 range. I type for a living - in the legal profession you have to be able to type like a bat out of hell and not make any mistakes. I've been clocked at a consistent 130 wpm.

Oh wow, I'm pretty pathetic at 48-50 words a minute. And thats not testing the typos. I bet I'd be half that if you included errors. :o

7 out of the 10 tests I took I got 63 wpm. The other times it was 59, 72 & 79. I didn't really pre-read the sentances it gave you though, I just read as I typed. I probably could of gotten a better score if I did that. Oh well.
I can type faster when it comes right out of my head not by copying something.

I got 50 WPM.
But... I'm sure I can think of a good excuse. Hmmmm. Lets think.
The words were wierd.
English isn't my first language.
I never learned how to type properly.
I was typing with three fingers on each hand, as I always do. :o
