Whats your typing speed?

85 wpm, with 3 mistakes!

Wow, mine was pathetic. 64 wpm no mistakes. The test was annoying, though, with that line moving under the letters. I used to type 100+ wpm but that was sitting upright at a desk... not slumped over on the sofa with a laptop.

Yep, but www.typingtest.com doesn't do that, and it doesn't lag... I was running into the *test* skipping letters that I typed because it was behind my speed. It will also allow you to backspace (as long as you're in the same word.. if you hit space, it's charted as an error) and correct. I'm going to go play a bit and see what speed I am today.

I thought it was me

Also, I'm so used to backspacing to fix a mistake I kept doing that.

On the second attempt, once I figured out what was going on I got 72 with 2 errors. And I know I type faster than that. I used to type 90+ on a typewriter, and I know I'm faster on a keyboard.

I had problems finding the 'start test ' key

80 wpm, 2 mistakes.

Mine was

85 wpm
75 words typed
2 mistakes
2.2 mistakes per minute

The single space between sentences messed me up too!

Same here. I got 85 WPM and five mistakes -- I found every time I made a mistake, it distracted me and slowed me down, so I think I probably type faster than 85 WPM. On my resume, I say I type 75 WPM ... I should really change that.

I find that I get into a groove when I'm typing, and start to speed up as I go. I've been able to hit about 110-120 WPM when I really get going.

I'm not very fast but i'm getting better
70 wpm w/ no errors
