How fast do you type? (in WPM)

[Solarflair]

49. Good lord I'm awful. Although I only use my pointer finger to type, ever. It's not very effecient, but, hey.

EDIT: 62. Woo! I feel accomplished.

Visit the Typing Test and try!

Improvement!

We are talking about the english version.... Different languages have shorter/ longer words than others :/

I stated that it was in Norwegian from the start, didn't I?

I got 134 WPM on the english version, anyway, the english doesn't have ÆØÅ so I wouldn't say the english version is any harder than the Norwegian one.

Just so you know, these are always really easy to forge, but I dont think anyone cares enough to do that (example )

But highest I could manage was 130. I used to be around 140-145, I've dropped D:

Fair point, well if people care enough they can just video themselves or something.

80, I never learned to type properly though and use a really weird all over the keyboard type of typing. Its not 2 fingers yet its no where near proper.

I do most of the typing with my left hand and my index and middle finger and occasionally my ring finger for the letter Q and W.

I O P J K L N M are all done exclusively with my index finger on my right hand which means if I get a word with several of those letters my typing plummets, such as the word plummet.

This isn't really a great comparison test, since it's all random words that also have no connection to each other. Sometimes you get really easy words, sometimes they're a bit tougher to string together. It will artificially inflate some numbers and some will get hosed.

lol, I learned to type with video games. awd and mop are my "home keys. Left pinky on shift, right pinky on enter. Kinda wonky, but I type 100 WPM average, so it's not terrible.

Same, I taught myself to type many years ago and I use right pinky on shift, left on the home row. I also use the right shift key to capitalize everything. I don't think I have ever used the left shift key. Ever.
