Theresa is trying to make people fall for www.getalife.com that is hillarious. After falling for the logoff link I sent him : )

 

[zoxxy]

Well....Atleast I'm fast.

 

[miata13B]

Your slow with that many errors. . .

 

[Small_Fryz]

this is also a good one. BTW i can touch type.
i bet there are people here who would leave me in the dust

your so slow, only 51 wpm 👎

gross speed 79WPM, errors 6words, net speed 73 WPM, 92% accuracy 👍

 

[DQuaN]

Getting better 👍

 

[G.T]

34WPM and 100% accuracy. Quality over quantity.

 

[Omnis]

56wpm with 96% accuracy. I spent a lot of time trying to delete the red words...therefore screwing up my score.

...not to mention I just woke up. lol.

 

[Joecool593]

26 WPM, jack **** for accuracy....
Typing isn't my forte.

I took it again.
Test name: Strategic Alliances with computers
Gross Speed: 76 WPM
Errors: 1 Word
Net Speed: 75 WPM
Accuracy: 99%

I kinda cheated on the errors by hitting the backspace button... but that also served to drop my gross speed from the 80's

 

[RSCosworth]

52 WPM, 1 mistake, 98% accuracy. I could do better, but it's 2:15 AM

I'm with you on that one....29 WPM thankyou very much, I cant do the not looking at the keyboard thing....

 

[Acid X]

This is WITH backspacing.. It's a habit i have. Whenever i screw up i backspace to fix it. I couldnt stop myself.. I did a couple times though.

 

[Arwin]

Fishing in Finland, 1 min. Got 90 WPM at 100% accuracy, just tried once. I type a lot of code so I guess I have to be accurate. I've also been a secretary by the way.

(not that this is really fast, by the way, it's just a regular 10-finger blind speed as far as I know)

 

[Small_Fryz]

i dont understand how people get over 100. Once you get past 80 - 90 your hammering the keyboard so fast.

Apparently their is a keyboad that is better arranged so that all the common letters are on the homerows or close to it and the uncommon letters further away, thus being much more effecient.

Does anybody use this keyboard?

I thought that was the Qwerty keyboard.

Anyways, 68wpm here. 7 errors.

 

[the_undrtaker89]

Damn, I suck at typing is the position you sit really important. Because when I did the test I had one foot on my computer tower.

 

[VT]

I wouldn't think so .. as long as you've got two hands on the keyboard. I was laying in bed when I did mine.

 

[the_undrtaker89]

I see, my wrists hurt, I think I'm getting carpel tunnel....Anyone know something that can help my wrists..

That would be a DVORAK keyboard (named after the designer I think). It's a great design and I'd love to learn to type on it, but it's quite pointless. It's pretty difficult to find one of those keyboards as it is, and if I do find one, I won't be able to get one in the Microsoft Wave configuration. On the off chance that I could find one in the wave config, I probably wouldn't bother getting it unless I could convert every last one of my devices to the format. It's a pain in the butt sitting down to type and realizing that you're on a QWERTY or on a DVORAK a few minutes later.

Just for the sake of it:

Gross speed: 112 WPM (random letters)
Errors: 273 words
Net speed: 0 WPM

(I can normally do about 30 wpm [no touch type])
