[AlexJones]

6 standard deviations above median WOW

"nerd alert" we're all a little nerdy to some extent on here.

[Avante]

What amazes me about typing is how I have no idea at all where the letters are at on a keyboard. But my fingers do, weird.

I type with just one hand, very fast.

What are you doing with the other hand?

:lmao:lmao


Scrah, it's Molotov, Lord Stalin's Foreign Minister, he's known for partitioning Poland in WWII.

[BD24]

Still amazed that people can hit the 100 wpm mark. I generally hover from the 80-85, the highest I can usually get on these test is around 90. That isn't the norm though.

[Reck]

I cant get out of the 45 words per minute bracket. :lol

[apalisoc_9]

I can't even get to 80. I usually get around 70..

Normally though, I'm probably hovering around 55... 117 is like some court typer shit.

This. Is it just the muscle memory? Or is it called something else?

40 races in 116.6 WPM 99.5% percentile, 21-19 in races. was honestly hoping for a higher percentile. When I do them when I'm tired and about to sleep my performance declines drastically.

Are there any shit jobs for fast typers?

Journalist. Ha ha.

[apalisoc_9]

116 wow...i even looked at the leaderboards and some folks were doing 150wpm.

How is that even possible?...

Right now my average is 57 in this website.

I can do around 70 with autocorrect....

[DMC]

The world champions are around 160wpm. This shit is bogus. Professionals do between 75 and 90.

Shit jobs? Austin American Statesman.

Cooler ones? Programmers at Apple, Google, etc...

[TDMVPDPOY]

160wpm, wtf are they typing?

is touch typing faster then speech typing?

[Ghazi]

43 races, 117 WPM.

I'm in the 99.7% percentile, yet I'm only 23-20 in my races.

[Neurosis]

130wpm at normal typing speed without many mistakes. If I type as fast as I possibly can I hit 145-150, but there's too many mistakes and it makes my hands tired. I play games and do data entry as a job. If I'm typing, "carefully" then I'm about 110.

It matches you against people in your percentile range, so you probably won't win much more than 50% of the time.

Barbara Blackburn – She holds the title of the World’s Fastest Typer for her ability to maintain a speed of 150 wpm for almost an hour and had a top record speed of 212 wpm.

Personally I'm in the 100-105 range with ~95% accuracy.

[Cry Havoc]

There are definitely bots in this program. My first race someone hit 227wpm.

[8FOR!3]

I got 67 WPM and 92.5% accuracy but my shift key is getting stuck so I fucked up capitalizing a few things.

[SpursforSix]

I can type pretty damn fast. I'm dumbfounded that they don't teach typing at some schools anymore.
although I'm pretty amazed at how fast some kids can type with just their thumbs on a phone.

I would be surprised if you could type 3 words a minute, judging by the gerth of your fingers of course. Siri, must of been a godsend. I'm very happy for you and the rest of the fat fingered community.

The class is probably becoming less necessary with kids using the computers more frequently. One way or another they will learn how to type decently.

[SpursforSix]

that's the thing though...they don't really learn decently. most are looking at the keyboard the whole time and pecking away with two fingers.

might as well just change the keyboard layout at some point

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

The world champions are around 160wpm. This shit is bogus. Professionals do between 75 and 90.

I can do 90-100 wpm any given day. That's most professionals that consistently use their keyboard. Plus, it easier when you are dictating notes than actually typing your thoughts. Dictating notes, i can up to 120 wpm with practice. I use to practice on Mavis Beacon growing up. I was like the Tasmanian Devil of typing.

But shit, I don't do that stuff now. It really is a nerd alert, but in a good way as you are at least making productive use of your time.

[DMC]

Most of you don't detract mistakes though.

[Ghazi]

when i see people that have records on there of 200 WPM I honestly think it's artificial.

[Ghazi]

my accuracy is usually in the 91-98 range.

40-27, 117.9 WPM

117..how the fuck is that even possible? Just did this shit again and.got 58

Everytime I race 55-62 gets you first. I havent placed below 1st but ive never gotten over 65

[Ghazi]

There's people typing over 125 WPM ... so 117 is definitely possible
