What's your WPM? (Geek Test)

Vainglory

My worst is 59 WPM and my best is 79 WPM. I reckon I average somewhere in between those two scores.

I selected the "Touch Typer" option, I'm not sure if that changes results.

Since we're all self-confessed keyboard warriors, I declare that the race to find the biggest keyboard warrior of them all is now ON!

Plus, the winner will have the joy of being inundated with requests to type essays.

Post results here.

The very definition of cool: our very own Scraggs, ladies and gentlemen. :cool:

I still think we should have a type-off, Gav.

Scraggs

I'll be the judge!!

singingstranger

In case anyone missed that, that was me throwing down the gauntlet. :rolleyes:

Vainglory

How should we work this type-off?

The Battle Of The Secretaries, Past and Present!

Hmm. If Scraggs is offering to judge, we should get her to come up with an A4 page or two of text, and have laptops back-to-back somewhere (I guess the Student Centre basically).

Scraggs presents us both at the same time with the identical text to be typed, and first person to type it in full correctly (Scraggs to be the judge of its validity or not, obviously) is the winn-ah.

How about it?

30, I suck!

Also I'm getting rsi or carpel tunnel (I forget which is which) from all the computer stuff in work. It's really hard to do ergonomics when you're 5'0"

I think we should be docked .5WPM for every error we make.

Scraggs

Oh god its so official... I'm not sure if I'm up to the challenge!!! I'll make a trophy though!

Tbh I think you lose .5WPM for every mistake you actually make anyway, because you could have typed another half-word in the time it took to fix the error.

30 and that was pretty good for me! thank christ I don't get many essays:eek:

Scraggs

ok I'm really sucky now I dont whats come over me.. I'm only getting 28 now with both hands... And I tried good ol' righty and I'm on 25... must have been a fluke

panda100

Actually scraggs wins cos she is able to sip Cocoa AND type at the same time-ha beat that you non- multitasking blokes!

humbert

Irlrobins had the brilliant idea to copy and paste, thinking outside the box!

Stabshauptmann

I had the same idea, my score is also impossible, but it looked more believeable

Slippers

It just starts repeating itself eventually. I get no results...
