One-Minute test (http://www.tactuskeyboard.com/tys_one_minute.htm)

I finished the whole thing with time to spare. I used to type alot faster, but now I'm learning to use my thumbs for more keys while typing.

Here's another one (http://www.typingtest.com)

This one's pretty good. I got 87 wpm.

between about 60 and 70 wpm.

Don't ask me :)

Typingtest.com said I finished 87 words in a one minute test, which would be 87 words per minute.

Could be because I read what I was about to type about 15 times before I actually typed it :D

As far as the tactuskeyboard.com test goes, what I understood is that you had to multiply the number of lines typed during the minute by 11.

The first time I got to type 7.1 lines aprox: 7.1 x 11 = 78.1
the second was close to 7.8 = 85.8 and the last time I tried... damn, I really pushed it really hard and got some sort of headache afterwards... anyway the maximum typing rate I got was of 8.7 lines = 95.7 wpm.

I would recommend you just to try this out if you are really bored (like I was ;)) heh, not a productive way of wasting your time though the test seemed pretty fair for some kind of bet or something :grinthumb.

The first one I finished completely before the little time pie-chart was even 1/3rd of the way finished. LoL. That test is kind of useless.. Not a very good test. But the second was good!

I type very fast with simple worlds. In Mavis Beacon I get around 130WPM with basic, 4 letter or less words. With more complicated words, you'll noticed my typing ability drops dramatically. I remember taking a test on Mavis Beacon's typing tutor that brought me down to 40WPM. It just depends if I'm used to typing the words being listed or not.

Very cool :grinthumb

Have any of you tried The Typing of the Dead for Dreamcast? :D

I have done 94wpm on typist.com
accurate was 96%

I typed 10 lines so i assume I did 110 wpm. :shrug: I blame it on Instant Messenger. :p

I blame my MS Natural Keyboard. Never got used to the thing....

"Natural keyboards" are supposed to be easier to type on than old fashioned ones.

While I think they are more comfortable, I can't really say they are faster. I've been typing on a natural keyboard for 3 years now and when I pick up a regular keyboard, it seems like I can type faster. I tend to make more mistakes though.

I have gotten very used to mine though and I prefer the natural layout as opposed to the classic keyboard layout.

Some other people use an entirely different keyboard setup all together. I think it is called the DVORAK standard, rather than traditional QWERTY.. Just imagine using a DVORAK all your life and sitting down to a QWERTY board to type something up. :)

I got about 97wpm on the tactus test.

...or typing with QWERTY your entire life and sitting down at a DVORAK keyboard to type something up.

QWERTY was originally designed for typewriters, which is pathetic, because all the most frequently used keys are spaced out as much as possible to prevent jams...:haha:

BTW, does anyone here use DVORAK?

I've got around 58-59 words per minute

5.3 (roughly) x 11 = 58.3 words per minute (Estimated)

Well I gave myself a "C" for typing accuracy.

Used the first one but couldnt be bothered to turn cogs in my rusty brain to work out the speed.
