    Load of crap if you ask me, I can type way faster if it's coming from my head, and actually makes sense. Who cares about the CIA really?

    You typed: The fly in the ointment of computer literacy. Sharks are as tough as those football bffansd who take their shirts off during games in Chicago in January, only more intelligent.

    You typed: Despite its suffix, skepticism is not an ism in the sense of a belief or dogma. I only have a dollar. In good speaking, should not the mind of the speaker know teh truth of teh matter about which he is to speak? If God had a beard, he's be a UNIX programmer. Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. This wasn't just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. On a scale of 1 to 10 she say.

    I had classes in college a few years ago, but I don't type to any correct standard at all, I never stuck to it -- so just banging away at the keys really :)

    I know Gideon learned to type, and he is very fast. My way is so horrible, but I've been typing so long using it it's hard to change, but I've gotten quite fast with it. Right hand I have my pinky on P, ring on K, middle on J and index on B and thumb on space. I have my left pinky on SHIFT, ring on A, middle on S and index in a random position. I'm a MONSTER!! :(

    63 :/ Thought I was a bit faster than that. My mum is 85wpm or something stupidly fast like that.

    My pinky hovers over shift on my right hand for some reason and the rest of my right hand is kinda freelance just moving to adjust while I type stuff out I mostly use my index on my right rarely using my ring or little finger on my right hand :/, I never learnt to type I just picked it up from using the keyboard like most do. My left hand is a joke though over WASD all the time index on D middle on W ring on A and little on shift and thumb on space because of all the games I've played :p Seems to work though :)

    Fortunately I rarely have to do any lengthy typing at home, 'cos typing quickly with the keyboard resting on your lap is bloody hard!

    The test doesn't seem very good to me though, often it skips onto the next word when you make a mistake, and then skips onto the word after that when you try and correct yourself without noticing etc...
