    50wpm with 1 error. Not bad consider that's only from surfing the net.

    90, typing like you're supposed to type.

    I'm amazed at how fast some of you can type with two fingers though....

    First time through was 98wpm with three mistakes. Those mistakes were all in the first sentence. Once I get into a groove, I can do pretty good. However, I made mistakes after the first sentence...it's just habit for me to backspace and correct them. If I didn't, I'd be faster...but more errors.

    I'll try it a few more times to see if I can better that.

    Second pass: 87wpm with two mistakes.

    Thrid pass: 97wpm with five mistakes.

    Fourth pass: 96wpm with three mistakes.

    Was hoping to surpass 100wpm; probably could if I could make myself stop correcting mistakes.

    Oh well, at least I'm consistent.

    I don't feel like trying this again. I'm pleased with my typing speed, as I don't really use it beyond chatting on forums and sending personal e-mails.

    If you copy and paste, you can get like 1800 WPM. Unfortunately it looks like they try to discourage that by putting "invisible" errors in the copy text :)

    Your speed was: 3041wpm.

    You made 102 mistakes...

    I really don't know how I made mistakes when all I did was cut and paste. ;)


    I'll try the test for real later.

    I tried that too, it looks like they put random invisible punctuation into the original so if you cut and paste it effs it up.

    Clever :)
