61/5 errors. Wow John--92! P.S.:your name reminds me of the 2 John Kims at our school. Their name was exactly the same, and they were in the same homeroom class. So when graduation time came, the teacher called John Kim twice in a row!

Yea, we have 2 Christine Trans in our grade, so that'll probably happen to them too!

I typed 36 words per minute with 13 errors!

I agree with Caroline. It's hard to read something off the screen and type at the same time. Quite awhile ago I used to be a typesetter. I was responsible for entering text for magazine advertisements, coupons, newspaper advertisements, poster, and other boring things. Speed isn't a requirement for this; accuracy is.

Cool test though.

John

Hey, you're about the same speed as me then. Though with 13 errors i hope the advertisements you used to do were not for ferarri's. Everyone would be down the local garage demanding the £10000 brand new ferarri they saw advertised.

LoL they weren't for Ferarri's...That would be too interesting. These were mostly advertisements for jars of fruit salad, wood stoves, and furniture along with employment advertisements for different companies.

My current job requires data entry, and customer correspondence so I get a lot of practice all day.


My brother has a saying... He can type 180 words per minute. The only thing is 99% of the keys are Backspace!

John

Hehe, your brother sounds like a hoot.

I hope your current job is more exciting for you. You could easily go crazy writing about jars of fruit salad all day.

38 words with seven errors, not too bad when the last time I had a speed test in grade 9 at school, I got 33.

Hi from South Africa

I got 113 wpm with 3 erros. Go me! Yes, I have done many a receptionists job.

My brother does have a great sense of humor and is quite a tease to boot! He went and blew at the hydrometer, I have on my new piano, to raise the humidity, just to see me go into a snit.

He's also famous for repacking mailorder things that come in into broken boxes just to see my reaction. Hehe he's always been like this even when he was a kid.

Oh yeah the job swell... I'd rather type in fruit salad coupons. Hehe... The network admin part is fun. I get to play with different tools, check out broken PCs and help people.

The other part, of the many hats I wear, is really boring. Filling out customer orders on the computer that they send in by fax. I'm getting so I know nearly every person I talk to based on where they call from. I'm also getting to know every part number by heart too. 618910 - Drytech 30" Imagesetting Film... $980 per roll. 625537 - Semi-Gloss finish material...$250 per roll. AGHHH!!!

John

67 words per minute with 6 errors. I can't type without looking at the keyboard alot, so I was frantically looking up and down during the test!

40 wpm with 2 mistakes. I guess that's not too bad considering I got a D in typing when I was in high school and I type with four fingers.

One of my sons types 120. He plays trumpet, but he would have been a whiz of a pianist. Actually he has been teaching himself hymns on piano and can play about 100 of them, which I struggle with. He was here for a visit and sight read Bach minuets that I took weeks to learn.

Laura, a new "adult beginner"

65 wpm with 3 errors. Not too rusty.

Hmm, "You typed 5 words per minute with 42 errors." Any chance these numbers are the wrong way round? Or am I just the world's wrsot typre?

88/2. I guess it's just about practice. If we've been tinkling with the keyboard (computer one not piano) for years, we tend to be faster and we don't look at the keyboard to know what we're typing.

32 wpm with 1 (spacing) error. With one hand!
Piano keyboard's much easier...

First try: 33 wpm w/ 23 errors

Second try: 34 wpm w/15 errors

3rd try . . .

Umpteenth try: 55 wpm w/ 3 errors

Guess I'm rusty.

Having it halt when hitting a wrong key really annoyed me ! Good thing the piano doesn't quit making sound everytime one hits a wrong key!

Done! You typed 44 words per minute with 14 errors!

Done! You typed 40 words per minute with 5 errors!Yay.... stupid commas!

I think the record is held by our receptionist friend Nikki23!! 113!!!!wow

I can max at around 80-85 wpm with less than 5 errors. Crusing speed is about 50 wpm with less than 5 errors.

On the piano, max at 12 notes/second in some really fast cadenzas.
