Here's a test that calculates your words per minute.

Ok, I typed 23 words per minute with 13 errors.

I know MP'll do better than that, but, ya know. :rolleyes:

32 words per minute with 5 errors. Although, its much harder to type fast when you have to read off the screen. When it's your own thoughts and words it comes out much faster.

x

Yeah, your right about that. But...your good.

92 words with 3 errors! Although, all of the errors were due to spacing.

92!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is crazy! I think we have found are new champion!

x

92 seems physically impossible! Are you leading us off the deep end, John? Or are you really 'the hand'?

Actually yeah - thats nearly three times faster than i type and i can type pretty fast - either you are lying to us or you are a super human who's magical power is the ability to type at unheard of speeds.

x

Yeah, what she said.

Why the angry face? Coz i said what you wanted to, because you cant beat me at anything, or because im annoying you with my relentless replies?



x

Actually it's cuz I can't beleive that guy can type that fast.

Thats coz it aint true.



x

Yeah, but ya know, my internet ain't goin fast enough, that's why your beating me.

Wow - i just looked it up and i read about a guy who can type 120 words a minute! Maybe John aint lying!

x

Come on John. Tell us. Are you lyin?

I'm not, I swear! I'm just young! I took "Computer Application" classes in 7th and 8th grade for a semester each, and all we basically did was learn to type fast and with accuracy. I guess it did help in the long run!

88 wpm with two errors. What's the big deal?

Wow! You guys are fast!

x

52 wpm with 0 errors. I guess most of us will be above the average typing speed, we are all pianists.

Yeah! I got -6 words per minute w/ 6 errors!

Edit: I meant 56 errors not 6

61/5 errors. Wow John--92! P.S.:your name reminds me of the 2 John Kims at our school. Their name was exactly the same, and they were in the same homeroom class. So when graduation time came, the teacher called John Kim twice in a row!

Yea, we have 2 Christine Trans in our grade, so that'll probably happen to them too!

I typed 36 words per minute with 13 errors!

I agree with Caroline. It's hard to read something off the screen and type at the same time. Quite awhile ago I used to be a typesetter. I was responsible for entering text for magazine advertisements, coupons, newspaper advertisements, poster, and other boring things. Speed isn't a requirement for this; accuracy is.

Cool test though.

John

Hey, you're about the same speed as me then. Though with 13 errors i hope the advertisements you used to do were not for ferarri's. Everyone would be down the local garage demanding the £10000 brand new ferarri they saw advertised.

x

LoL they weren't for Ferarri's...That would be too interesting. These were mostly advertisements for jars of fruit salad, wood stoves, and furniture along with employment advertisements for different companies.

My current job requires data entry, and customer correspondence so I get a lot of practice all day.


My brother has a saying... He can type 180 words per minute. The only thing is 99% of the keys are Backspace!

John

Hehe, your brother sounds like a hoot.

I hope your current job is more exciting for you. You could easily go crazy writing about jars of fruit salad all day.

x

38 words with seven errors, not too bad when the last time I had a speed test in grade 9 at school, I got 33.

Hi from South Africa

I got 113 wpm with 3 erros. Go me! Yes, I have done many a receptionists job.

My brother does have a great sense of humor and is quite a tease to boot! He went and blew at the hydrometer, I have on my new piano, to raise the humidity, just to see me go into a snit.

He's also famous for repacking mailorder things that come in into broken boxes just to see my reaction. Hehe he's always been like this even when he was a kid.

Oh yeah the job swell... I'd rather type in fruit salad coupons. Hehe... The network admin part is fun. I get to play with different tools, check out broken PCs and help people.

The other part, of the many hats I wear, is really boring. Filling out customer orders on the computer that they send in by fax. I'm getting so I know nearly every person I talk to based on where they call from. I'm also getting to know every part number by heart too. 618910 - Drytech 30" Imagesetting Film... $980 per roll. 625537 - Semi-Gloss finish material...$250 per roll. AGHHH!!!

John

67 words per minute with 6 errors. I can't type without looking at the keyboard alot, so I was frantically looking up and down during the test!
