    I urgently need to take this test, so I am leaving work to get home to give it my full attention, will post results below!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭Meathlass


    64 wmp. Would be a bit faster in word I'd say as it tends to autocorect obviously mistakes like adn and teh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,263 ✭✭✭Gongoozler


    Well that's just lovely, makes me and my measly 60 feel pretty bad. :(

    48 per min. I'm ****e. What's the norm?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,381 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    48wpm - But only because who the fook writes like that anymore??? If it was proper, modern English, i would probably have done better. Also, my keyboard is on my lap on a couch, probably be quicker at a desk.

    Low 60s seems to be my average. I tend to have a problem in that I fully digest everything I read as I'm typing. Faster typists tend to be able to purely focus on the typing aspect.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 724 ✭✭✭Flibbles


    120, with about 4 mistakes usually.

    Being familiar with the words has nothing to do with typing speed if you're touch typing though.

    50 wpm, looks like I'm well behind you lot...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭Tarzana


    Crap.

    42 wpm. No mistakes though. And two finger typing. :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 740 ✭✭✭Alf. A. Male


    My typing accuracy and speed is not bad, but my ability to read the ****ing instructions is sadly lacking and I forgot to start the poxy clock :o

    I had a second go. 835wpm with 8 mistakes. Cut and paste is where it's at.

    Yeah, I kept thinking "What the sh1ting hell am I typing"? Also started thinking about the gross kind of pearl necklace around the middle. :( Focus, Tazana, focus!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭sebastianlieken


    usually about 200+ words per minute like you know. I'm just fan-bleedin-tastic and i'm better than all of you.

    This post only took me like 9 seconds to compose.

    I'm great.

    but actually my result was 40 wpm. yikes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,904 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Well that was pathetic on my part, 21 words p/m and 3 mistakes.

    I didn't... feckin' thing pasted commas between all the words and I got 89 mistakes.... :(


  • Moderators Posts: 3,554 ✭✭✭Wise Old Elf


    63 wpm with two mistakes (the stupid long word in the first line, and no instead of not).
    I'm faster when typing from my own thoughts/dictation, but not great at copying text like that.

    Edit: Just realised there's different versions, so the above about a stupid long word makes no sense! 70 wpm second time around.

    It's understandable, Galway only got computers last week :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747

    Ladies, please, contain your orgasms.

    In my experience, speed is NOT something that impresses the ladies....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 732 ✭✭✭Hesh's Umpire


    34 wpm with a good percentage of mistakes!

    It's completely dependent on what's fast.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia
