How fast do you type?

i just type about 30 words in a minutes. your typing is good. :)

I am very poor at typing. Though I had training in my school days, as I had log gap form typing ,my speed went down as like the beginners.Still I will not use the proper fingers for typing and sometime I will type with single finger even. After registering with mylot only I started typing again after 7 or 8 years. So my speed will always low that we can not measure even,.

For me, it really depends on what I'm typing. If I am typing something very familiar ie. some common words, I can possibly reach a rate of about 85-90 words per minute. If I am typing something that is not familiar ie. words that I might not have come across, then maybe I can even dip as low as 30 words per minute. I remember playing this application on Facebook where it actually measures the speed of your typing based on a phrase that you are supposed to type out without any mistakes, even with the punctuation. They simulate it into a car racing-type application to make it more interesting. Not sure if you've come across that application, but for me, that application helped me slightly to improve my typing speed. Can't remember the name of the application now though, because it's been a while since I've used that application......

I went on a job interview yesterday since i am currently unemployed and i had a typing test to do for them. I typed 60 word per minute and they said that is very fast and very good. I like to type fast becaue i can get a lot more done and i can type away and earn some earnings here in mylot. I can type 60 words a minute and that means i can type more in one discussions to earn a good earnings for the response i am typing. It also means on mylot that i have time for more responses to type and i do like that because i need to make payout and i still need 3.50 to earn that so I'm hoping i can get to it and earn the payout.

I have never calculated my typing speed but I lack behind a bit because I can not remember the order of keys on the keyboard and thus I need to look up at the keyboard when ever I am typing. But I will certainly install typing tutor and try to learn up a bit because I want to respond to discussions really fast to maximize my earnings here. I have never typed on the typewriter but I will like to try it out some day.

I was also taught how to type fast and without looking at the keyboard in high school. I can type 60wpm.

Wow! That’s definitely very fast. I also learned typing in a school but now I am not sure about my speed. You see there is a vast difference between the speed we had on the old typewriters and what we have on the keyboard. For one, you don’t have to be careful about mistakes and capitalization and punctuation and secondly the keyboard is much smoother too. So even if I type fast on the keyboard, I don’t think I would be too fast on the typewriter anymore.

I'm afraid to say that I type slow. I tried to learn when I was younger, but I just didn't have the patience! Oh well, no need for me to worry about it as typing quickly isn't required in my line of work.

The last time I was tested, I typed 73 nwpm. I was testing out of Keyboarding 1 & 2 for my new school. I knew I could type pretty fast, but I thought my speed would be more like 55-60. I shocked even myself when I read that score. Now the IT department head is pushing for me to get an administrative job through the school itself, since he likes my work.

I am anywhere between 50 - 80 per minute. Depends on what I am typing, and why. If its to just type out what I am feeling like in a journal, it takes a bit longer. In here I just type as I think..

the speed is important for the typist, if you and me ,i think the quality is more important than the speed! what do you say?

That depends on the adrenaline and caffiene currently flowing through my system, and if it is a keyboard I am used to. Once in awhile, my typing speed slows to a crawl when a keyboard manufacturer places a key in a different area than I am used to.
