So I was sitting here in my apartment when my roomie and I got into a bit of a battle over who can type fastest, so we put our dexterity to the test, and pretty much came out even every single time.

Anyways, what's the Escapist Community average typing speed? I'll link to a decent online test

Also... I search barred this and came up with nothing. Either I didn't ask it right or there really isn't a topic on it.

I type real quick, don't know a word per minute count though. Half the time my sentence come out with tons of spelling errors. Woop!

The est said I have about 50 nets words per minute, but I suck at type copieing, as I need to look back alot.
Yeah that's the problem with these tests, I type a lot faster off the top of my head and copying words is not a really practical application, but there's really no other way to do it. I guess it could have you type for a minute, count your mistakes, and see what your wpm is for that I don't know, just a thought.

If I could type my own text then it would be a lot faster than the crap score I got...

32, but I had to erase a lot, and my computer lagged.

EDIT: Did it over again on Test Instructions instead. Got 54 this time with an accuracy of 94%.

89 on "test instructions", 75 on "astronauts". I wasted some time on the latter because of weird symbol use and punctuation (who uses " - - " and stuff like that?).

60 when improperly caffeinated 80 when properly caffeinated. At least that was what it was when I checked five years ago.

I got a really bad score, but that's because I get nervous when put on the spot. I can type relatively fast due to playing Call of Duty online. This was before the mics were integrated into the game so the only way to talk was to type extremely fast and when doing this you stand perfectly still. I think the test is a little strange, seeing as it had us copy down prewritten text and I am much better when putting down my own thoughts.

About 52 with 98% accuracy (i swear one word was bugged as i typed it correctly)

Anyway I don't like copying text cos I have to read it first.
