Aix Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Out of random curiosity today, I took a typing speed test (not going to provide a link, just use Google, there's plenty) and my top speed while barely making any errors is 73-74 WPM though I don't regularly type that fast. How many of you guys can touch-type? Everyone at my school was taught to in Grades 1-2, but I realize that's not the case with a lot of people. I had a friend in New York who was actually surprised I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I can touch-type to some degrees, although I feel more comfortable with a keyboard. Never going to use word filling functions, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gαr Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I don't how I type really, I just kinda do it. As for touch typing, I can do it, but I go really slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I can touch type, but I'm very inaccurate. Always a ton of typos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I can touch type great. At my school we took typing class in middle school, and while I was a terrible hunt-and-peck typer in 6th grade, once 7th grade rolled around I could miraculously type awesomely.

goddamnit names are a pain Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 By touch type, if you mean without a real key board, then I SUCK AT IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hmm, I'm a bit of a weird typer. I somehow average about 105 words a minute with very few errors. That's probably abnormally fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I can't touch type, but whilst in sixth form I freaked my friends out with looking in a completely different direction to the keyboard whilst typing. Well that's what they claim anyway depends on the words being typed really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I seem to average 78 words per minute. Which is kinda cool considering I only ever use four fingers when typing. I've never tried touch-typing with anything besides my thumbs, so I'm not sure how good I'd be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hunt and peck style. Averaged out at about 94 wpm. Homerow keys? Bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Took a random test. I'm sad. 35 WPM, but I messed up in the beginning trying to copy and past for a high score. =D And in the end, I had one mistake. RETAKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I can't touch type, but whilst in sixth form I freaked my friends out with looking in a completely different direction to the keyboard whilst typing. Well that's what they claim anyway depends on the words being typed really. I've done that too, I can do it with anything but numbers really.

Toffee. Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I actually CAN type quite fast, but whenever I go to do one of these tests, I get all flustered because I forget what I'm supposed to type, and end up making like an abundance of typos and/or having to backtrack stuff to see if I did it right.....I stopped after like the first few sentences of this one test, and got 48 words per minute.Would be nice if I didn't feel pressure while doing these sorts of things.

Tentacruel Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Got 64 WPM on my laptop which has a fairly unresponsive/uncomfortable keyboard and half way through my cat jumped on the keyboard opening another tab costing me a few seconds.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I can touch type relatively well (speedwise, I'd say moderately fast), though sometimes I might have to check the keyboard for the proper keys in the event I make a mistake (this is especially when I type on my laptop/netbook b/c keys are smaller) or have to type in accented letters. Haven't gotten tested on it since middle school (though I had to write with a sheet over computer so there's no way I can see if I made an error or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Had to do a typing test for work. Requirement was 30 wpm. I got 76. I was offered the job right away. Though my normal speed is more likely in the 40s or something. Nobody types crazy fast all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Tried again, got 78. Not bad I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I can vaguely touch type, but like I'm slow and prone to error and I don't even come close to using proper technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I can vaguely touch type, but like I'm slow and prone to error and I don't even come close to using proper technique. Yeah I think proper technique involves using more than 2 fingers total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsen Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 A fitting 69 WPM on random test on google; Eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
