Test Your Typing

Do you know how fast you type? This fun online test gives you a short fable to type and calculates both your speed and accuracy while you do so (it includes typing sounds and background music, which I think is what made it fun.) Here are my results:



I'm definitely getting slower, but I'm happy that I maintained decent accuracy despite my snail's pace. Take the test and post your results in comments.

    Yeah... I type fast, but that's because I can use the backspace key with amazing speed and accuracy. Those tests never let me backspace and retype, so I always bomb them. And this one was worse, because the instant you miss something, it makes everything after wrong - and it counts backspace as a keystroke. Gah! I tried it twice and stopped when the test got below 30% accurate. LOL, you'd never know I used to work as a secretary and now I'm a writer.

    94 wpm @ 92%. Not too shabby, I guess. I always was a fast typist because I took beginning typing twice (8th grade and 9th grade). Even in the Army, when we took tests, I asked if I could turn the page over during the timed test. I was the only one who did that! Fun times!

    I'm accurate but slow. Bring back the math quizzes. I'm good at those!

    Yeah, I would have been a lot faster if I had been allowed to backspace :P I have timed myself at 130+ wpm before, but this time I got about 80. LOL.

    I got 54 wpm with 90% accuracy. Yes, I'm used to using the backspace key and that messed me up.

    I got 70/70 - touch typist. I would have been quicker but everytime I made a mistake I stopped and tried to correct but it wouldn't let me. It also threw me that it went faster than my fingers so I wasn't quite sure which character I should have been typing. And to be honest I should be good as its my job and I've been doing it since 1976. At least the technology has improved and I don't have to use the old manual Remmingtons any more.

    The quotes screw me up. I'm about at 70 but no backspace and having to think about quotes slows me down a lot. ~sighs~ oh well.
