Just wondering since most of us bloggers are typing, just wanted to know how many people here in BC has an above average typing speed. I would appreciate if you will answer this question honestly..=)
My typing speed is 60 WPM how about you guys?

around 70 if I really have something all figured out in my head. If I'm copying from a paper, not nearly as fast...maybe 45 or 50.-
It seems like your not well use to copying from papers huh?
-
Oops..didn't notice about the title. sorry for the typo error..x_X
-
-
i type as fast as it took me to type this-
lols...=)
-
-
Not counting presses on backspace, I'd say I'm around 80 wpm.
Having worked with computers for many years, and spend a good deal of my youth chatting
(edit: unfortunately I can't spell all that well :o )-
That's one good thing chatting can do to anyone. It increases their typing speed..=)
-
It also taught me how to use one of these Microsoft Natural keyboards - to the degree that now I can almost not type on a regular keyboard.
I just love these "split" keyboards :o
I even got my boss to buy me one for work back when I started. More codelines per minute hehe.
Edit: Actually - just took a sample test online and it was around 90-95 words, but it was more difficult because I had to read the text as I typed, and I know I type a heck of a lot faster when I know what I type......
I think I might actually break 100+ WPM when I am sure of what to type based on this.
-
-
I don't know. How do you tell? -
Take a typing exam. There are lots of typing software out there. Just look for a good one. Like typing master or others..=)
-
Oh...OK
Ugh, mine is about 43 words per minute when I copy from another text.
I am faster when I'm not copying, though.
-
-
60-
Great! just like mine..=)
-
-
I get the job done.-
It would be much clearer if you could tell us your typing speed..=)
-
-
75 WPM
-
sweet.. I'm pushing my self to the limit to make it 70 WPM, but apparently I haven't yet succeeded..=(
-
-
I justr took a test 78wpm sweet-
hmm..it seems like I'm pretty slow against you guys..=(
-
-
About 80 wpm. But if you want *complete* accuracy, then I am about 65 wpm.-
LOL
-
-
geez. I wish I didn't start this discussion..X_x
-
Why?
-
What did you expect? We're all bloggers so most of us have learned to type fast. My husband is even faster than me--but he's also less accurate.
-
-
Cause he wanted to be the fastest
-
lols.. that's not it. It seems like I'm pretty slow against you guys...=p

When I was timed, I averaged 72 wpm-
Great! It seems like most of bloggers here have an above average typing speed. I'm starting to feel little right now..lol =)
-
-
I've hit 72 without error. Most of the time I putter around at 55 wpm.-
Awesome!=)
-
I think 55 is a more comfortable range.
-
-
All I know is the faster I type, the less I make sense.
For the gamers out there, here's a game called "Typer shark" (it's free, no signing up, or anything).
It's good fun, you get to practice your typing skills, and at the end of each level, you get your average words per minute.-
I also know some typing games just like that..
-
Stupid me, I forgot to post the link for Typer shark... Tsk!

You know more games like this, Richard? If you know any good ones, would you mind sharing them with me? I love arcade games, and my typing skills could use some improvement.
Just post them in my shoutbox, or I'll give you my email address if you prefer.
Mind you, I could also practice my typing by... blogging for instance... Lol! -
Sure..np..=)
-
-
61 per min, but I think I can be faster.
Here is a place you can check.

this site said I got 79wpm
www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php-
Great!

742wpm-
742 wpm. You got to be kidding me..There's no such thing as fast as like that. It's like more like a Horse power.=)
-
@richardworks:
lol
Have you looked at how many toes that aardvark has... No wonder he can type so fast.. !!! -
lols..=P
-
-
I usually average around 56 words per minute without mistakes, any faster, and the reader has to kinda guess what most of the words are.
-
I know what its gonna look like..I've tried it that's why..=)
-
-
It depends...
When someone's looking over my shoulder: ~ 10 wpm
Normally: ~ 65 wpm-
I see your not comfortable when someone is looking while your typing specially when its a hottie. Even I will feel the same way...=)

I am such a dinosaur. The last time I was actually timed was in high school typing class. Way back then, electric typewriters were a luxury and computers weren't invented yet! My best was 30 wpm but that's on an old manual beastie that required finger strength! -
I'm sure it's painful for someones finger to type that long that requires finger strength..
-
In high school I typed at about 60wpm and took dictation at 110wpm. Now, I'm much, much slower, but I've learned to write at the keyboard. Used to have to write out everything in longhand first. -
Awesome!with some practice I'm pretty sure that you can manage to get it back..
-
anyone else?
-
69 words per minute. -
Awesome! Lots of fast typist here in BC.
-
Is there anyone else who wants to share their typing speed?=)
-
Sure!
70 TPM (typos per minute).
-
-
I'm not familiar with TPM. What's the difference between TPM and WPM?
-
85ish WPM....former administrative professional -
sweet....=)
-
-
Perhaps I should declare the fastest typist on BC after this thread..=)

52 words per minute. I should win you guys in a year or 2. -
Better not stop practicing so you can catch up with these people born with keyboards..=)
-
-
about three words a minute, but gee they are the right words
I used to play 64th notes on guitar, now I don't bother-
Lols..you got to be kidding right?=)
-
no, it's true about the 64th notes
-
-
I really don't know lol. But I'm pretty fast as I've been interested with computers all my life and I spend a lot of time hanging around the PC. I love the clacking of keyboards. My keyboard, that is. -
Last I tested, about 110 and few mistakes.
-
Is that your peak wpm? or that your average wpm?
-
if im really into it, then around 65 wpm.. otherwise its around 45.. -
Nice...
-
Okay, so I tested and it's 98WPM. That's the fastest I can get. I tried to break it but I fail!
-
how I wish we could all see each other while typing. I like to hear keyboard sounds specially when fast typists are typing.
-
Yeah, it's music to my ears. But maybe that's just me lol.
-
-
-
yep..I do understand what your trying to say..
-
-
Is there anyone else?
-
I got upto 82 wpm with seven errors. Okay. -
Great! lots of gifted people here..
