Typing words per minute?

I believe I am somewhere in the region of 50-60 wpm. Here in England it really depends on the job which you are applying for. Most jobs require computer literacy, which will include knowing your way around a keyboard. But if you are apply for a job specifically as a typist, secretary or PA, then chances are you will be asked for your typing speed and/or qualification. Most places will expect at least 40-50 wpm with accuracy.

Sorry, but I do not know of anywhere where you can measure your typing speed. It did it at college when I was taking a shorthand course.

well i am not a good typer but my typing speed is good that what i need
i never count my typing speed but i think slowly slowly i can improve my typing speed

I am one of the slowest typist i know. I can keep my hands where they belong and type without looking at the keyboard but thats it. I am a horible typer. I am lucky to get thirty words a miniute. I almost didn't pass my highschool typing class which was required to graduate lol I was a straight a student except typing I passed it with a low c. I can not type fast and I can not spell so maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe I just take to long thing how do I spell that.

I noticed this here (Australia) when I was last looking for a job. I was looking for admin/office work, and a lot of jobs asked for typing speed of anything fron 40 to 80 wpm, even in roles in which it wouldn't have really been necessary. This was a real setback for me, as I wasn't considered for jobs I could easily have done. I have a typing speed of 38wpm with 99% accuracy, which will never get any faster as I have a deformity in my hands and my little fingers don't bend properly, therefore I can't touch-type.

aside form mylot that helps me type faster, i also played some online games that makes your hands having some quick reflexes when it comes to typing and pressing other stuffs on your keyboard. i was like that for how many years until i became used to it. i just don't know how many words can i type within one minute lol

My typing speed is between 45-55 wpm. How do I know? Well, I took a typing test when I applied for a clerk position for the city. Most clerical positions here in the US requires some sort of typing test, plus computer literacy exams. A good grasp of the common applications like Word and Excel is usually expected.

If you really want to know how fast you can type, try searching online for sites where you can take a typing exam. Together with speed is accuracy, so even if you type fast, but makes plenty of mistakes, then that is not good. Usually, your mistakes is deducted from your speed score, and they will give you an accurate wpm score.
