Default Online typing test - how many WPM?
I just ran across this quick little typing test online and thought I'd share it here - I haven't taken it yet, not sure I'm particularly fast OR error free these days would love to know what results you get!

http://labs.jphantom.com/wpm/

UPDATE - the site containing the link above is currently shut down, not sure if it's permanent or temporary, give it a try but if you can't get the typing test... another site mentioned in this thread by another member where you can 'type race' is http://www.typeracer.com/

My results:

64.66 wpm
with 2 mistakes.

Faster than I thought and honestly, I have to look at the keyboard to type and I only use 2 fingers on each hand (pointer and middle) LOL

No wonder I type dyslexic a lot of the time

That was fun, thanks. I have used online typing testers before to average my typing speed. I always test myself atleast three times then get the average. I average 85.04 wpm with 2.6 mistakes. I think this test though was missing some of the harder key strokes. I usually average between 65-70 wpm.

Love a typing test (I was always good at those) 98.80 wpm 2 mistakes. Never measured wpm, only strokes per minute which is approx 430 (I think I had 390-ish here)

Way cool Tess - thanks! I haven't had a typing test since high school... and we won't discuss how long that's been! LOL

I took it twice... the first time I got 85.57 WPM and the second 104 WPM so I'm pretty happy with those scores...

Good luck! And thanks again for sharing!
