I stumbled upon this website, which has an online typing speed test.

http://www.typingtest.com/default.asp?m=1

For the 'Wizard of Oz' test I scored:

test name the wonderful wizard of oz
gross speed 109 WPM
Errors 1 words
Net speed 108 WPM
Accuracy 99%

But that was at a rather frenetic pace. Typing at my usual, relaxed pace I scored:

test name tigers in the wild
gross speed 94 wpm
errors 1 words
net speed 93 wpm
accuracy 98%

Wow.  Super fast typist, you are!  I love tests, and I can type, so I took the Wizard of Oz test.  Took it on my laptop.  On a longer test, I'd probably score a little lower -- plus they didn't use any complicated words or any numbers.  Here's my score.

Wow, you're not too shabby yourself...I'm not really that fast (faster than most tho,  :D) - but fast enough to keep up with most in chatrooms.etc.

IM w/ a fast typist is so much more satisfying than with a slow typist...don't you think?  ;)

(really though...more like a live-time conversation)

I know, I'm always waiting for the other person to catch up. I think I type almost as fast as a I talk...

Must have a good at this!

I was hoping this would take off...come on, who doesn't want to boast there typing speed??

:D 75 words...

It is way different every time...

I get in between 30 and 170...


Depends on the words, time of day, and my feelings, I guess...

But I always keep up with chats and stuff...

That's odd, mine's pretty consistent no matter how hard I try. I think the measure of a good typist (not drawing praise to myself, of course) is how fast they type 'naturally' without forcing it. My natural ave is pbly 95-100, though I could possibly reach 120 (over at least a minute) if I REALLY tried.

not too bad for me....i am not a very good typer

I got only 84 wpm on the Fishing in Finland test (down from 96).  I'm typing along nice and speedy and then the word "eutrophication" just messed me up!

I will be giving it another go.

Yeah, that one messed me up as well. But 12 WPM? Anyway...For some reason it doesn't matter how hard I try I get similar results in the 95-108 range.

The first test i did didn't go very well because I didn't understand the format.  Normally I type and then check and correct my errors.  You can't do that on this test.  After that I averaged about 35 wpm.  Not bad for four fingers!

Have you ever tried to learn touch typing?
