Natalie_ca's thread got me to wondering how fast I can type. "Back in the day" I could type around 70wpm, and even though I get a lot of practice here, I knew I wasn't as fast as I used to be. I took an online typing test, and I scored 58wpm. The test adjusts for mistakes (I didn't have any).

Take the test, and tell us (and be honest!) how fast you can type. If you try again later, and improve your score, tell us!

Once I realized that they have only one space between sentences (which I kept messing up, and slowed down to correct), I did much better! My last score was 78wpm!
Now I must stop taking typing tests.

60 wpm with no errors.

Had to do the test a couple of times before I saw the box to check for 2 spaces after a period. My time got faster then because I didn't have to keep back-spacing to correct it.

I've taken it three times. The first one I got an 81, second a 88, and the third one a 91. The first two my fiance was looking over my shoulder and I can't type well when someone is watching what I do.

ETA: I just took it again and got 104 wpm with no errors.
