Vestril Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Just curious, I had to take a test when I was applying for a position at a staffing firm, and I was suprised by how fast I could type (50 WPM, with 100% accuracy), since I don't type correctly, I'm a hunter/pecker (albeit I use all of my fingers, and if I go slowly I don't need to look down). Anyway, it made me curious as to how fast you guys are...
Tyrion Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Um......I'm takign a offline typing tutor right now,but I can type fast and correctly if I look down,but I can type good without looking if I go slow.
Kit fisto JK Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 for fun I just put down whats a keyboard but actualy I should have put down I get by:D
XERXES Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 dang im the only one so far to do FAST:D but i kinda do my own thing, i havent actually used the home row method since elementary school computer class.

SPY_jmr1 Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 damn fast but spelling suffers a bit. hmm not this time though... dammit, why wont I mess up a word!!!!!!
OnlyOneCanoli Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Meh. I get by. If I tried really hard, I could become good at it. Just too lazy, hehe.
Vestril Posted July 12, 2002 Author Posted July 12, 2002 Originally posted by Tyrion Yes!I can finally say that spending time on these forums ARE educational!!! Go into chat rooms, I'm sure my speed doubles when I'm in one of those, but then, the faster I go, the more mistakes I make. When I'm chatting with people, I get paragraphs out rrrreally fast, but they generally have more than a few mistakes.

Yoda_623 Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 I type 90 words a minute. But, when I play JK2 I have all kinds of typos. I don't like to take my time and type on it.
Twins of Doom Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 well, at the beginning of the school year i was at like 80 or 90 words per minute, i have no clue what i am at now, but i know it is faster because that was back around september/october
[RAA]-=Chi3f=- Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 wasdwsda f zx p1w9w93 10 wd w wswasd *TRANSLATION* I type 300 words/minute, it's just not understandable. Actually I type 70 words a minute because I had a keyboarding class in highschool. Otherwise it'd be like 15 words. - DOH!

Kit fisto JK Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 my speed actualy varies when i do and dont know what Im going to say and some times i hit some botton before other buttons i bet i misspelled a lot
Divine Spirit Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 i think the measurement of speed that i type with is called: Yoda!
Clem Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 i type fairly quickly when im making it up as i go along but i make lots of mistakes .... esp when my fingers start in the wrong place and OK comes out IJ i make loads of mistakes too and i dont do punctuation!! bah little dots and stuff who needs it
JrKASperov Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 FAST, just what I can say, my dad gets mad when he hears me typing... Chatroomies get mad when they see my typo's:rolleyes:
greedo626 Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 well, thanks to all the time I spent on these forums I can now say I can get by. I still look at the keyboard when I type but I know where some of the keys are. (I typed that sentence and this one without looking at the keyboard:rolleyes: ) I can type without looking at the keyboard but I can type faster while looking. p.s. twins, have you joined our matrix revolution?
WolfmanNCSU Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Well, I type about 80 to 90 words with out errors, then it goes down hill after that when I try to type faster. I am a horrilbe speller. Most of the time they are not typos, just spelling mistakes. I never look at my keys. In fact, at work they played a joke on me and mirrored all the keys on my keyboard, and I did not notice for 10 - 15 mins. LOL
Darklighter Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 I alwasys chat on msn a lot (messenger) and the conversations are always pretty fast, but I'm not that quick. I could probably type around 50 words per minute if i could be bothered. Like OnlyOneConoli said, its laziness that slows us down...
Kstar__2 Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 i type fast when i lokk at the keyboard, and i dont know how much word i type per minute, i think around 60 or something, nut 70 when i'm typing really fast
Hanch Saode Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 I type very fast....I took examins this spring.......and we wrote long texts..... When I was half way through my 2nd page, the other from the class had only typed 5-10 lines....... But it depends which lanuage I typem and how warmed up I am.... Actually typing is an art....like music....you get in a rythm, and when you are really warmed up, you just get crazy and ain't to stop....I have experienced many times... I usualy write in danish, which is my language...in this I am very fast, in english is a bit slower...'cause I am not that good at it, and have to think a lot...
