Any fellow quick typing nerds out there?

**SwedenF** · 05-14-2012, 07:31 PM

Typing in this case meaning typing on a keyboard, such as your computer keyboard.

I am quite the typing nerd, and once I realized I was fairly good at it, I started doing the occasional test just for fun. It's an ability I am rather proud of, for several reasons. So, I'm wondering if there happens to be any other typing nerds out there =)

I figure since INTJ's are prone to computer-related topics, there ought to be more than one who developed some quick typing skills over the years.

If you are curious of your speed, you can test it here:

88WPM, thanks online gaming!

**Still Standing** · 05-14-2012, 10:33 PM

I just got 89WPM on that test (on my third attempt), and I'm using a laptop. Having worked for the past 8 years as a closed captioning editor/transcriptionist helps, I guess.

**SwedenF** · 05-15-2012, 05:13 AM

Cool =) It seems 80-90 WPM is the range most online people that type actively falls in.

89 WPM on a laptop though, that's pretty cool. I would probably get 1/3 of my regular score. I suck at laptops. Or laptop inspired keyboards. Needs my awesome 10ish year old keyboard to work, haha. (I didn't use it for 10, I bought it on at a yard sale from a guy who never used it)

Mine was 101. I took a keyboarding class ages ago in high school but it was internet chatting that really taught me how to type fast.

Got this on my PC:
Words per minute (WPM) 77
Keystrokes 423
Correct words 73
Wrong words 4
You reached 384 Points so you achieved position 7702 of 96791 on the ranking list (last 24 hours)

Then took it on a laptop:
Words per minute (WPM) 86
Keystrokes 438
Correct words 84
Wrong words 1

That's really funny. Faster, and more accurate, on laptop. I guess that's what you are used to.

I guess I'll post my own stats now =) My record on that site is 133 WPM, with 2 errors. With actual text, containing punctuation and more types of characters, I'm somewhere around 110 WPM.

**paleoeco** · 05-15-2012, 12:43 PM

106 WPM...I use a split/ergonomic keyboard. I generally score higher when I have natural language, than random words like this test.

First attempt:

Words per minute (WPM): 81
Keystrokes: 403
Correct words: 75
Wrong words: 0

I would guess I used to be a lot faster when I was typing for a lot more of my time. I still find it interesting how we learn to type without looking when we've spent so long at it.

Midhiel · 05-15-2012, 04:31 PM

Words per minute (WPM): 137
Keystrokes: 684
Correct words: 129
Wrong words: 0
You reached 684 Points so you achieved position 48 of 97094 on the ranking list (last 24 hours)

Cool.

Plato · 05-16-2012, 06:41 AM

First try:

Words per minute (WPM) 126
Keystrokes 661

I fumbled a couple times. Whoops.

I only use two fingers of my right hand when I type so this is only 7/10ths of my actual typing speed.

I usually type 70 wpm on average, with no spelling mistakes and proper grammar. I prefer to take my time when typing.
I suppose that's good, but nothing remarkable. I'm a much better reader.

**Abacus2012** · 06-19-2012, 10:40 AM

Thanks for the fun link!

1st result...
Words per minute (WPM) 81
Keystrokes 439
Correct words 83
Wrong words 5

2nd try...
Words per minute (WPM) 95
Keystrokes 496
Correct words 93
Wrong words 2

Took a typing class (way back) in high school.

**zeroemission** · 06-19-2012, 10:48 AM
