Your speed was: 65wpm.
Congratulations! You made no mistakes, practice does make perfect.

I got 75 on my first try and 62 on my second.
If you know a better test, feel free to post it.

I'll take this, but it's too late tonight. Plus I'm sure mistakes will cost me. I tend to type fast, but make a lot of mistakes...especially on this keyboard with the with flat laptop like keys.
-
I won't take this, only because I disagree with it philosophically.
-
It doesn't seem to have a negative effect for errors, I had two and got 85 WPM, but at the beginning I looked down and it was at about 92.
-
I'm too lazy to do this plus my hormones have relaxed all of my muscles so now I move like a 95 year old woman

Do you mean the second one? I figured it was changing because I was actually going back and correcting errors, lowering my WPM since as a principle I don't allow errors to stay there.

Don't be such a curmudgeon. Take it for kicks.

Here's mine:

But that's what editors are for. '__' Why make it easier on them, if they could write they'd be doing it too, but they can't so they can just sit in a room and correct my grammar.
-
Well I took it a few times and if I didn't stop to correct I got between 62-67 WPM. The one time I fixed as I typed I got 42 WPM. 42 is probably closer to what I type when I work. I might break out my old keyboard and take it again with that one since like I said I make more mistakes on this keyboard then I do that one because of the feel. It's like fondling a gymnasts' breasts on this thing. I also would more then likely type faster if I wasn't copying and writing from my head, but then again I know that's not the point of the test. :P

If you are correcting errors, then yes it counts against, but if you don't correct, it doesn't seem to care, which makes it a little bit inaccurate. And you don't have to do more than one.

Doug?

Of age gymnasts. IE: Not the Chinese ones.
-
Even some of the "of age" ones are skewing a little young for you there, gramps.
-
6 more months.
-
Gymnast women have the bodies of young boys. They are as flat as a table, all muscular and no nice curves whatsoever. Totally unappealing
-
Yeah...Keyboard Flat, Gymnast's breasts also flat. I think that's what I was going for.
-
Only the good gymnasts are flat. I'm interested in the bad gymnasts.
-
I am, too. Nothing beats getting a Serbian reach around with a Korean lobster.

Mine was a Jesus quote, and it just had to be from KJV. "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." Just doesn't have the same ring as "Do unto others as you would like them to do to you."
-
Also, I did about 71 the first time, 83 the second. 60, 89, 63, 71.
