That's about right

Touchtyping

On a good day, I reach 55wpm. And I don't touch-type, so that number is MUCH higher when the words are already in my head, and I don't have to keep looking at what I am copying. So, copying is about 45wpm on average, and writing from my head, like this blog, is up to 60wpm, I should think.

I got 38 which is fast for me! VROOOM! But ya, when the words are in my head I probably go faster also. And Aurienne started off by typing the intro lines, so she kinda had to start over.

I did 45 wmp. For me that is smoking fast. I'll have to have my wife give it a go. I bet it puts her at over 100 wpm. She types so fast it scares me.

I got 48 wpm, and I think the one wrong word was probably an incomplete one at the end...

It says 45 wpm for me, but says I got one word wrong. My keyboard is kind of funky, so that may have skewed it.

I got a 78. That sounds about right for random words. I got a 90 on the MSU employment test which was actual English.
