From the last time you got your typing speed tested, what was your words/minute?

I\'m pretty fast actually. I was the fastest in word processing during my freshman year in high school. :laughing:

I was playing with those Mavis programs and I got up to 100+, but that\'s minus the numbers.. I\'m still slow with the numbers.

Well Tyrant, judging from our MSN conversations, I\'d have to say around 2-3 words/min. ;)

Wasn\'t there a thread on this a while ago that had a link to a place to test your speed?  I forget.


EDIT:

Nevermind.  There was no link.

Wow!  Rya, taking over from Video!  ;)  (but her threads are creative.. not just the latest news :p)

I have no idea how fast I type tho, I\'d say faster than most people.  We had all sorts of computer nerds in my classes, and some friends of mine who spend all day on the computer, and I\'m way faster than all of them.. meh well :)

I last checked about 2 years ago and I was at about 65wpm, I\'d say I was in the high 70\'s now

God forbid trying to come up with things for people to talk about besides happy birthday.  What makes you comment on my trying to help the board out in every post?

Or do you consider these three fascinating posts as the ideal threads of OT?  BTW, these are the only three you have done in over a month besides the awards.

Back on topic.

Here is a speed tester:

I suck at typing from a piece of paper.  I have a crutch where I have to look down every once and a while.  I ended up with only 54.  If I type from my brain I am up around 95.

get higher than 80 I\'ll be impressed.

My first try with it I got 54.  I didn\'t even know what I was doing at first though so I lost several seconds.

Someone get a screen capture over 80.  Especially those of you who say you type fast.
