Typing speed

from WinCustomize Forums
Just curious, how fast in words per minute would you say you type?

I type between 120wpm and 130wpm depending on what I'm doing.

I just tested and I got 100% accuracy at 78 words per minute. Tests after that were worse(faster typing with inaccuracies!). Going to play at it for a bit.

If I just go all out without really trying to be very accurate I can do this:

Percentage Accuracy : 52.13454075032342%
Percentage Inaccuracy : 47.86545924967658%
Characters per minute : 773 cpm
Characters per second : 12 cps
Words per minute : 137 wpm
Words per second : 2 wps
Total Speed status : You weren't serious
Overall Accuracy : Bad

Though note, my accuracy is really bad. So if I'm posting on the message board where I'm not having to really worry about making typos and I am not having to reproduce what someone else is saying I probably do around 120wpm to 130wpm.

I found that it really helps to not think about it as much; if I had to think about it, I tried to correct their errors and my fingers would start to slow down because I'd be too worried about if I was typing correctly. (Like, did I actually hit the H or am I still on the T?)

Copy/Paste
The inaccuracy was probably caused by a MS bug or (as Furan mentioned) a script error

Hm. I wasn't very original, was I? Someone else did the same earlier.
