I got 64wmp.

I just typed out the lyrics to Yellow Submarine.

Considering my typing is a modified version of hunt & peck I feel I did pretty damn good.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

81WPM, and I "hunt and peck".

My asecret is that I actually KNOW where the keys are. I just look at the keyboard and don't use the keyboarding style. It's a confidence thing.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Yeah, I went back and corrected mine, too

The typing test I took at the temp agency did count mistakes, cause you had a certain thing you had to type up and it counted when you backspaced, misspelled, etc.

I like this type of test better. I corrected mine, too, but this is why I like it better:

I look at the keyboard when I type.

Which means tests that make me copy something are heavily biased against my typing style. This kind of test is the only kind that measures my true speed, which is when I'm typing from my mind, like I am right now.

It's not really a good indicator of how well you type, though, because it doesn't bring mistakes into the equation.

Actually, it is.

Correcting mistakes takes time. The more mistakes you make, the less you're able to type in the time alotted, IF you go back and fix them.

That's the point, though. That just measures how fast your fingers find the keys.

Typing isn't just pecking random keys. It's forming words and that type of test doesn't gauge your ability to do that, so it's a bad way to really tell how good you type :P

Problem with the "type what it tells you" things, it usually takes me longer to RE-TYPE something, instead of typing something that comes from my own mind, so it tends to be slower.

Pick a letter, any letter, and do the following.

Type the same letter with spaces like this: k k k k k k k k k k
Then type it without spaces like this:
kkkkkkkkkk

You will then see the difference.
