How fast do you type?

http://typing-speed-test.aoeu.eu/?lang=en

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

[Lilias]

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)

Your score beats or equals 96.89% of all.

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*

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Your score: 471 CPM (that is 94 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 98.01% of all.

In reality, you typed 478 CPM, but you made 1 mistake (out of 88 words), which was not counted in the corrected scores.

Your mistake was:

Instead of "island", you typed "isalnd".



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

[DominantPoet]

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

[BAMF]

Your score: 359 CPM (that is 72 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 90.78% of all.

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).

[Keaira]

Your score: 375 CPM (that is 75 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 92.37% of all.

Congratulations! You typed all 68 words correctly!

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

[kylie]

     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.

[Evolution]

Your score: 466 CPM (that is 93 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 97.85% of all.

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 >.>

[Evolution]

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

Your score: 504 CPM (that is 101 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 98.86% of all.

In reality, you typed 522 CPM, but you made 4 mistakes (out of 99 words), which were not counted in the corrected scores.

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".

[la dame en noir]

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.

[As Day Fades]

97 WPM, 3 mistakes

blargh
When I first started writing it was in a chat room, which was very much speed-based, as opposed to the more laid back approach of forums. At one point I had tested at 150 WPM, 0 mistakes. I FEEL SO SLOW NOW.

I had an issue with that one. It runs slow. A couple times I would get to the end of the words shown and had to wait about five seconds for its processing to catch up and give me the next group, all while the clock kept ticking.

Yea, I was looking for another one, but no luck with similar detailed results and less loading time.

Definitely a bit weird having it be nonsensical and no punctuation, but in some ways I think that makes it easier.

The highest I've ever got was 77wpm from a recruitment agency about 10 years ago on a typing test but I assumed I'd probably got faster than that. That said, I likely have carpel tunnel right now.

[AnneReinard]

121 WPM here, with one mistake where I typed slwo instead of slow.

About where I have been for years... though I suspect in my prime I was typing a little faster. I used to do so much speed based roleplay systems on chat...

[DominantPoet]

Just tried it again, being as I'm awake and can't sleep -

In reality, you typed 488 CPM, but you made 5 mistakes (out of 92 words), which were not counted in the corrected scores.

Your mistakes were:

    Instead of "home", you typed "hom".
    Instead of "sentence", you typed "sentenc".
    Instead of "whole", you typed "wholre".
    Instead of "room", you typed "roo".
    Instead of "beauty", you typed "beatufy".

I advise you to take a 2 minute break now.

I think wholre should become a word, that just seems hilarious to me for some reason.

[AmberStarfire]

I haven't experienced carpel tunnel symptoms in a few weeks so I decided to take the test again.

Wish I could type as fast as some of you. Impressive results from everyone.

Your mistakes were:

    Instead of "always", you typed "alsayws".

I type faster when I am writing out of my own head than from text on-screen, however.  Still, my best isn't much more than 70 WPM.

    Instead of "mark", you typed "markl".
    Instead of "must", you typed "muyst".
    Instead of "should", you typed "shoulp".

To be honest, it's my second try. In the first attempt i also got 8 mistakes but 490ish CPM. I wanted to make less mistakes! But nope, exact same amount.
Also, for some weird reason, i write faster in English than in my own language. Must be 'cause of the tilde's (As in: à, é, ü, î, º)



Also, uh. Hi everyone! Sorry to intrude, hope you don't mind  ???
