    How fast do you type? Test yourself!

    I did the test three times and i'm ashamed...

    1st attempt 27 WPM - 7 mistakes
    2nd 26 WPM - 3 mistakes
    3rd 29 WPM - 11 mistakes



    My daughter amazed me with 51 WPM with only 5 mistakes

    TEST HERE

    64 WPM, three mistakes. Not too great, but my RSI is playing up, so my left wrist is shot today - I had to make a lot of corrections as I went

    Edit: 3rd attempt: 66WPM, 1 mistake. Hmmm.

    For the best typing-under-pressure test I've ever seen - there's a version of the arcade game, House of the Dead, renamed 'Typing of the Dead', available for PC.

    It's exactly the same game (adapted from the original) - except that instead of guns, the characters have typewriters attached to their chests by some kind of harness, and you kill zombies and other undead critters by typing a selection of words and phrases at them.

    It's a lot harder than you might think to type 'She sells sea shells on the sea shore' to kill a chainsaw-wielding zombie while it's trying to cut you into small chunks...

    72 WPM, no mistakes. I corrected many many errors, so it could have been a lot faster. For what it's worth, I believe my true typing speed (with no errors) is maybe 50 wpm at most.

    I think I have it somewhere also.

    There's a few clips of it on You Tube - , if anyone's curious.

    And since I did it, loads of people have done better than me, so now it seems too smug.

    1st attempt 29wpm 2 mistakes, 2nd attempt 29wpm no mistakes... Seem that is the speed of my left hand (only type with left - don't type two handed - would slow me down even further!)

    81wpm and 1 mistake. Quite pleased, since I haven't had to copy-type for more than five years.

    I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed of my score - I use a computer for a living , but don't copy type, I'm left to free type and correct other's spelling or use of keywords etc. instead (ah the effects of a tiny miniscule amount of power wahaha!)

    Power going to my head - I forgot to sign! - twice !

    54wpm with no mistakes, but that's because I kept going back to correct them! Pretty much what I would have expected.

    57wpm with 1 mistake. Which isn't bad, considering I only arrived home from SP about 15 mins ago, and am actually medically dead!

    3 hours?? You were lucky! (Something about slicing in two with a bread knife, and dancing on our graves, singing "Hallelujah!")

    Yes I've not lost it! Typist and proud of it:

    84 wpm and 2 mistakes!
    And just want to add - there were some blooming nasty words in that little piece of script!

    Great fun, thanks Lory.
    (Does anyone else find typing relaxing?)

    70 words per minute and no mistakes.

    Never been properly trained in typing, but four years typing up uni assignments have obviously paid off!
