How fast do you type?

It's a pretty quick and easy test to give a generally rough idea of how fast one can type :)

Your Score - 366 CPM (or 73 WPM)

In reality, you typed 366 CPM, but you made 2 mistakes (out of 64 words), which were not counted in the corrected scores.

Your mistakes were:

    Instead of "seem", you typed "seemeven".
    Instead of "seem", you typed "seemeven".

Apparently that's a fair bit higher than the median, according the that particular site at least. I'm certainly curious how fast others are on this site :D

444 CPM, 89 WPM.

When I learned to type, my official speed test was 142 CPM on a manual typewriter. 20 years later and on a softer keyboard without tangling type bars, 3x that speed is to be expected. ;)

[Inkidu]

Your score: 280 CPM (that is 56 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 78.94% of all.

Darn I've slipped I used to have about eighty words per minute. :P

Guess I have to update my resume. :\

[Tsenta]

Your score: 380 CPM (that is 76 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 92.82% of all.

In reality, you typed 385 CPM, but you made 1 mistake (out of 72 words), which was not counted in the corrected scores.

Your mistake was:

    Instead of "list", you typed "lest".




Woof, I've slowed down in the years. I used to test mid 90wpm but I haven't had the need to type fast since my old RP days on IRC.

[Blythe]

Your score: 442 CPM (that is 88 WPM)

Gone down a bit. Used to be able to do more than this. Dang.

[Deamonbane]

Your score: 260 CPM (that is 52 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 74.58% of all.

I used to think that was a pretty good speed. Not anymore...*locks shoulders and gets to practicing*

It's bad that this disappoints me isn't it?

[DominantPoet]

Mine disappointed me, so I wouldn't say so, no :D

[BAMF]

In reality, you typed 368 CPM, but you made 1 mistake (out of 69 words), which was not counted in the corrected scores.

Your mistake was:

Instead of "something", you typed "somethng".


Vowels, who needs 'em? ;P

[Aethereal]

        The text was light gray on white/light green for me, which ... wasn't ideal. x.X

Fifth or sixth try (when I wasn't distracted by IM, spend unreasonable amount of time fixing a spelling mistake at the beginning of a longer word or similar):

Your score: 384 CPM (that is 76 WPM)

        It being random words rather than actual sentences threw me off quite a bit, never mind that people generally type faster when they do so "from mind" rather than read material. (It'd be interesting to try with texts read at different speeds, though.) ...I personally occasionally also still tend to look at the keyboard rather than screen when typing, silly as the habit is (as I *can* type blindly easily enough, but for some reason my gaze still tends to stray to my hands every now and then).

Your score: 375 CPM (that is 75 WPM)

Congratulations! You typed all 68 words correctly!

Honestly thought it would be more than that but, meh. Not too shabby.

     I haven't tested it recently, but those company tests used to say 60-70 wpm. 

     The thing for me is I don't just type and go away...  I tend to look over things or change my mind how to say stuff in midstream.  So conversation and planning and the like can take much longer than it seems that just typing the message should take.  Cause I usually edited it forever.  ::)  It's not like having someone hand you a sheet for a test and just punching out something that was predetermined.

      I also read rather slowly, even when I'm not picking over the meaning and sources of what I read (wait, when is that again umm)...  So the actual thinking about the details can stretch quite a long time with all that.

In reality, you typed 488 CPM, but you made 4 mistakes (out of 91 words), which were not counted in the corrected scores.

That was my first try I bet I could probably do better.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Intense, please don't do better than tat. You will bring out the competitiveness in me and I'll have to try and try until I do better than you. Nothing against anyone. I just. . . I like typing fast >.>

I'm sorry CarnageIncarnate, the game... Is on~~

Your score: 504 CPM (that is 101 WPM)

Your mistakes were:

    Instead of "went", you typed "when".
    Instead of "vowel", you typed "vwoel".
    Instead of "map", you typed "ap".
    Instead of "we", you typed "were".

[kylie]

     Laughs.  I tried that link and I only got 317.  Although it's pretty late here...  ::)

     That sort of test is very different from what I usually saw at temp companies.  They would usually have a paragraph or narrative, or sometimes just a string of sentences to copy.  But it wouldn't be a string of disconnected words.  I suppose the results are not soooo different, though.  Come to think of it, I believe I did much better at one or two of the companies than others but I can't seem to recall if it was the test or something else about that day.  Not sure if I really knew why.

[Aethereal]

But it wouldn't be a string of disconnected words.  I suppose the results are not soooo different, though.

I know it being random jumble of words threw me off quite a bit... I kept wanting to type things my brain wanted (or expected) to see, rather than what it actually received from my eyes. "desk an chair"?  Nope, that's now "desk and chair".

I'm very inclined to want to beat Intense now..... :-\ Damn you competitive desire within me!!

I used to work for a message service, so I've had to do this professionally before.

Your score: 363 CPM (That is 73 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 91.2% of all.

Congratulations! You typed all 61 words correctly!

I think I could probably do better if I gave it another try, but I went with the first result.

Edit: Second try I got 432 CPM (86 WPM), 100% accuracy.

[Drake Valentine]

Your score: 408 CPM (that is 82 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 94.99% of all.

Congratulations! You typed all 77 words correctly! 



Hmm, not too fond of it, it isn't really that accurate since everything is just randomize. I played around at it three or four times, once had bunch of 5 and less words, another had some random words with ' symbol thrown in them. Another was a mixture of short and long words. There is just no rhythm to it. The first was one is my score, the others were higher, but saw no point in pasting results with stream of inaccuracies.

[Lyron]

Your score: 467 CPM (that is 93 WPM)

I took a computer class in middle school and we had to do these tests every week. I came to loathe them when I reached my peak.

[Zillah]

Your score: 101 CPM (that is 20 WPM)

Considering I only type with one hand (not for that reason), I'll take it. :)

I advise you to take a 2 minute break now.
