What's your typing speed?

I managed 41 words per minute with no mistakes (because I stopped to correct 3 or 4 I made along the way).

That's pretty crap really. I'm actually a trained touch typist - I took a college course 20 years ago.

Practice makes better.

I took it 3 times. 5 mistakes on the first one, two on the second, none on the last, still about 60 wpm. On a good day I can do twice is many. I am just not having a good day.

If I'm typing straight off the top of my head I'm very fast and accurate, but if I have to read and type it takes me forever because I want to look at the screen in front of me and not at a page off to the side while I type. It was always a joke at work that anyone could recognize my typing by how fast it was and how hard I banged on the keys and the clicking sound of my nails.

I either cut or goofed off in my high school typing classes. It was the only C I ever got because I put the carbon paper in backwards.

I took one high school typing class and was absent during most of it due to a case of mono.
My typing is slow and shitty. I actually cross my hands.
Self taught b.s.
ETA: My handwriting is lovely. :)

My handwriting is terrible - that's one of the reasons I learned to type.

My handwriting used to be very nice but now it's barely legible. Other than grocery lists and the occasional check, I type everything.

Speed of Light. Siriusly.

Your speed was: 71wpm.

Congratulations! You made no mistakes, practice does make perfect.

92 wpm with 4 gaffes, which I'm going to blame on the fact I am using a microkeyboard (still not used to it, but with the limited desk space for the computer I'm using at the moment, it's a must).

Ditto.

52 wpm, by the way, and that's largely self-taught.

Biatch!

70 wpm with 1 mistake.

I can go much faster with more mistakes. Back in my temping days, I clocked at 83.

I don't even want to do the test. I did a touchtyping course years ago, but I had to stop before I got fast. It was so long ago that it was on the sort of typewriter where you had to bash a lever to do a carriage return. I found it quite difficult to transfer the skill to a computer keyboard because of all the additional keys.

I do type with all of my fingers but I have a brain problem that seems to mess up coordination between my left and right hands, so that I frequently transpose a pair of letters, particularly if they're typed with different hands.

So I type fairly fast, but hellishly inaccurately.

I also have a very light touch, which results sometimes in my hitting a key, but not hard enough for the letter to be output.

My handwriting is normally judged by other people to be excellent. I have an italic hand. But with age, the thumb joint on my right hand (with which I write) is getting weaker, so my writing is getting shakier.

I hunt and peck.
