How fast can you type?

In the real world anything above 40 WPM without errors is considered fast enough for most employees but there are situation where faster is better. If you were recording conversation using one of those special keyboards like in courts (I guess they don't need them these days??) then I guess you would type much faster and earn a lot more money too.... lol
 
2 finger typing :|

Words per minute (WPM) 64
Keystrokes 330
(320 | 10)
Correct words 60
Wrong words 2
You are better than 85.26% of all users (position 23900 of 162166 - last 24 hours)

dunno why it says wrong words though cos I remember correcting them before I pressed space :|
 
Did it twice and got 82 on both attempts, would've been higher but I struggled with the way the test changed lines so had more mistakes than I should have :(
 
This is a poor typing test because it just gives you random words without punctuation. A proper test would involve real prose with full punctuation and numbers.
 
13% miss-typed keys.... I think spelling is my downfall here, I can move my fingers fast enough but my brain tells them to go into the wrong places.
 
This is god damn evil, and addicting mind you!

The words aren't in logical sense though, so your brain has a WTF moment when the next word you have to type is not something that usually relates to the word you just typed. Your brain recognizes something is wrong, tries to make sense of it, and that loses you a few milliseconds. Yet when you are typing up anything normal, emails etc. your brain has learnt how to recognize words relevant to the words you write. This test breaks those rules, therefore not really showing what you are truly capable of.

I had that too many times, just looking at the word and stalling half a second cause it just ain't right

Edit: 37 wpm 184 keystrokes no wrong words, says I'm better than 56.28% of all users which you can imagine is utter crap, considering what you keyboard destroyers are all getting. Need to change my name now, keyboards must wish for me to be their owner

That's another issue with this test, I would like a test where we would have to write logical sentences. I'll have a little search to see if I can find anything like that.
 
I actually do a lot better on TypeRacer. Got 105WPM in a race I was just in and 113 with 97% accuracy on the verification thing it makes you do.
