Again, I took another test and the results were:

60 WPM (words per minute) with 100% accuracy, which is better than 93.4% of Bebo's entire member base. Not bad.

Yourself? :wacky:
 
The first time I tried I got 43 wpm (I didn't know where the words were. :wacky:) and the second time I got 52 wpm.
 
I took a random typing test several times and got 50-55 WPM. The accuracy for my first try was extremely low because I skipped over a word by accident. As a result, the test marked each word after that as incorrect. Afterwards, my accuracy was a little under 80%. Damn numbers are tricky, though...

Oh, snap! Took one on Facebook and got an 82% @ 66 WPM.
 
I did it at work one day because i was word and can do about 50 wpm, can't account for accuracy though :wacky:
 
I got 77wpm and 96% accuracy on some online thing i just took now xD

Edit: took the bebo one - 73wpm 100% accuracy, 97.8% percentile

Last time I took a typing test, I averaged about 120 words a minute.

Don't know if I'm still that fast. XD

Generally I type fast because it reduces the amount of typos I make.
 
Net Speed: 77 WPM (words/minute)
Accuracy: 90%
Gross Speed: 85 WPM(words/minute)


Kewl. I dunno the difference between net speed and gross speed, but whatever. xD

I took it at www.typingtest.com

The Enchanted Typewriter
 
114 words per minute with 98% accuracy.
=/ A testament to just how much time I've spent in front of a computer.
 
Well I consider this too be quite relative, for I can type faster or slower depending on how much interest I place on typing about a certain topic, whether it is about debating or if it is merely done to participate in an RP.

Anyhow, my first test....

-_-
51 wpm
100 Accuracy

The Irrational Side of Managerial Decision Making

I'll try again tomorrow....
 
70 wpm. I've done faster, but with accuracy being emphasized, I'm pulling back about 10 words.

Double post, what are you gonna do? (Merge most likely...)

Took one of the above tests. My results:

Net Speed: 72 WPM
(words/minute) Accuracy: 98% Gross Speed: 73 WPM
(words/minute)

I can type quick as hell, but I make so many errors. The backspace key is my best friend on this keyboard.

I think at times I need to slow down and type neater, but then again, that's why we have spell-check.
 
About 80 wpm. If I'm in a typing mood probably faster. If it's early in the morning and I'm all sleepy and shat probably way less.

Either way, I used to go at about 15-20 wpm, so I'm not complaining.
 
81WPM, and only one mistake, according to some online test, since I'm not on Bebo. I maintain that I normally type fast, and don't need to resort to using abbreviations, even on instant messaging.
 
Here's my score after my first and only time:

Speed Percentile Correct Incorrect Accuracy
86 wpm 99.3% 40 0 100%

A little bit better than I was when I took it in third and fourth grade. xD

[edit]: Mine was at Bebo.
