ok so i don't have my volume on so I didn't know if you could hear it or not but i figure myself a pretty fast typer. But reading something and then copying it over... omg- i am slow! i type so fast when it's in my own words only. lol!

[underwaterrhymes]

I haven't taken this one and I'm on my phone, but last time I took one I was at about 115.

C'mon psychmom and McGavin, I put my big ol' 30 WPM out there for the whole world to see. It's not like you'll be alone here at the bottom. ;-)

27

I think it'd be higher if I were able to listen to the words instead of read.

Yeah, me too. I would look at a few words, then type them out (while looking at the keyboard), then read the next few, and so on. Totally inefficient.

Only 52. Apparently, I can't do random words.

When I had to take an official test for a county job it was much easier with actual sentence structure. At that time I scored somewhere in the 70's, I think.

[trafficgirl]

72. I think I would do better with the sentence test, but am happy with the score for the words one.

[bania]

60. I have unusually long nails right now that keep tripping me up. I'm usually around 70 wpm.

[BaliHai]

78. The background hurt my eyes! And I type faster if I'm not copying words.

[Deleted]

73 :-(

When I told my assistant she laughed and said, "Not surprised. That is my job security!"

And she is right. LOL

[trissie18]

58 wpm

[moolarkey]

95

[lexxasaurus]

I set the record of 109 in HS. I usually score between 105-110.

[mrsb53]

59. Some of the words were a little difficult though, or words I don't type that often, I guess. I feel like it's easier to type quicker when you already have something "written" out in your mind and you are just typing what you think, rather than typing what you see.

54 consistently

[EmilieMadison]

109.
This is why texting is PAINFUL for me. It feels sooooo sloooow.

[fuckyourcouch]

98

According to my students, "dumb fast"
