    Go to the site below and test your typing speed with any of the phrases, then post your WPM (Words per minute) below. My WPM is 144 if I try, other wise 104 or so.

    Honestly, I have seen and heard you type, and when you usually type, you make a lot of typos. :b Your speed is probably closer to 80-90, when totally accurate. Also realize that when you are thinking of what you need to type, you will be slower by 10-20 WPMs. Tests like these tell you what to say, so you know ahead of time what to type. Brain and fingers rehearse it before actually doing it.

    My WPM range is 75-95, depending on the absurdity of the sentences I need to type on that site, lol. Normally typing, I probably am around ~65 WPM. I often go slow to really think about what I'm typing, because people seem to read what I say very wrongly and misunderstand. =.=

    I get around 60WPM on average (I removed the ones with spelling errors) and my fastest correctly typed quote is around 90 WPM.

    I believe a better way would be one where if you can achieve typing more then about 20 words, you'll be forced to type as you read. a.k.a http://speedtest.10fastfingers.com/
    I'll post my results from there :)
    This is quite scary 666 keystrokes o.o

    If I didn't stop to correct like 5 words (I do that because I'm so used to having to go back and spelling correct that I just instinctively backspace etc...) I could've probably achieved a higher wpm :)

    EDITmoof I like your new dragon ahah!

    As a starcraft player....

    EDIT: as a sc2 player, I have about 125 WPM, but this is only because I am constantly practicing my speed. (As in 4 hours a day reaction time)


    EDIT #2: I just tested it and got 148 WPM, lol. But I have an ultra sensitive keyboard, so that helps.

    There's not enough room to write the number I type PM.

    This thread went WAY off topic of what it was supposed to be about... The irony of this being in the off topic section to begin with. Lol.
