How much is your average WPM. Does it help you when you have faster speeds or do you have to think about script you are making











   Wed Mar 30, 2005    Reply         

The words I type per minute vary everyday. On a good day, I can get anywhere from 60 WPM to 100 WPM, and I usually finish my programs in about 10 minutes or less, that is, if I know what I'm doing and I have planned out the structure of my program.

On a bad day, I get around 40 WPM to 59 WPM. I usually find myself hitting the backspace button repeatedly, and that really hinders the completion of my programs.

I really don't think WPM have a large affect on my scripts or programs because if you know what you're doing, or you have planned out your code before typing, then I think you will finish faster than someone who have no organization. That's my opinion because there are plenty of people in the AP Computer Science class who type at about 15 WPM, but finish their programs (and gets a 100 on it) much faster than those who type at 100+ WPM.

[note=snlildude87]As for this topic, I've decided to move it to the General section because it really doesn't belong in PHP (mentioning the word "script" does not count).[/note]

I usually type anywhere from 35 to 50 wpm. On a bad day I usually type 20. but that is about it.

On a good day, maybe 50 to 60 words per minute. On a bad day... 15 or 20. Most of the time, they are bad days. I just can't seem to get my thoughts out and always mispell everything.

I personally don't think typing speed means everything. It's the quality of the writing. I know people who are amazingly slow, but the quality is amazing.

i average about 70 wpm on a keyboard i'm familiar with. ie: my laptop. otherwise i find myself repeateddly hiting the backspace and hunting for missing keys. I'm not a touch typist, at least not a 10-fingered one. I use 4 or 6 fingers usually, and can type like that without looking at the keyboard. that's probably where i mess up when using an unfamiliar keyboard, cuz i've memorized where the places are on mine.

I generally have a speed of 60-70 word per minute when I am typing english, but for other languages like Hindi it becomes very slow, somewhere between 15-20 word per minute.

How many of u are typing other languages than English.

you have to think of making mistakes with your incredible speeds. typing so fast can cause lots of probs for ya. Even though I can type real fast (250+ WPM) I still slow down whenever I am coding in order not to make stupid mistakes in there.

I type somewhere around 61 wpm with a 96% accuracy. (You could test your typing speed at www.typingtest.com)

I type in Hindi as well but that doesn't reduce my typing speed by much (I'd say only somewhere around 1 or 2 words a minute).

Why do I think 250WPM isn't accurate? Maybe because you'd be like the best secretary in the world.

I can get up to about 65 wpm on a typing test. When I am typing out stories or things that are just coming from my head I can go much faster. If I am typing out code I go pretty slow though, because making a mistake there will lead to taking three times as long to figure out where I went wrong.

im feeling really slow around all you people, my max is 50 words, average is 45.

If you wanna voice input stead of keyboard just searching from google It will give you more abt that.I think it's will be better for everone on earth.

I think I max out at 60 words per minute (the last time I checked). That is using the 'ten-finger' method, where I am only looking at the keyboard and hardly ever looking at the screen except to check what I have typed at the end of a paragraph or two. I know it is not the best method of typing but it is good enough for the amount of work that I do.

I can type around 90 wpm at my computer. With laptops, i type around 70 wpm.

I don't know my exact WPM but I can type fast, and well. It's really handy. Get your homework done fast. :P I often do look at the keyboard when I type, but I don't have to. I don't look at the keyboard when copying something off a piece of paper. I learned to type well in primary school, because I was in an enrichment program. :P

I can get to 60wpm with 70% or more spelling errors... :P :P

   Tue Jun 21, 2005    Reply         

with 100% accuracy 45-50 wpm

   Wed Jun 22, 2005    Reply         

92% Accuracy I can do 85WPM
100% Accuracy I can do 65WPM

However, I find that differenct keyboards affect my typing speeds. Also, laptop keyboards annoy me because of the really thin buttons.

60-70 for me but that's with my constant spell-checking, even for typing tests I'll go back and retype any misspelled words, it's a habit. If I didn't do that I expect I'd probably get a bit faster.

And I did have a college instructor before who typed in that 250+ wpm range, but he could only do it with some special ergonomic keyboard or he was quite a bit slower. Still very, very fast though.

Pff....You are very good my best WPM is 60.And that is very fast for me sometimes I typ faster.But I'm dutch so I actually can typ in the dutch faster.

On a good day I can average around 100 WPM, and on a bad day, around 80 or so.

My friends like to joke around by saying that I can type faster than I can think. Which isn't really a fair statement, now that I think about it :P

Depending on where my feet are propped up and how slouched I am in my chair (I have a swivel chair and rest my back against an armrest and feet on everything around, including doorknobs if they're close enough :P ) I can lose some speed and be at only 50-60 wpm

I am not extremely fast typist, if it is a good day, I guess I can type somewhere between 50 and 70 words per minute, and that is for serbian, my native language. If I type on english, I can type somewhere between 40 and 60 words per minute. On a bad day, I can be as slow as 20 words per minute, or even slower. But, those bad days are rare, I guess, I type too much for my work, and college...

I think to measure the actual typing speed in the real world, you cannot measure by just typing random phrases.

Try this site: http://www.typingtest.com/ for online typing test that sometimes GS civil examiners are using. You really wanted to know how fast you type in the real world? This is it.

Hmm, I type 90WPM. I haven't really done any of those tpying test thingys, I just practice a lot in class. And of course on the forums, I type a lot here too. So I get my speed from how much I type. I also have memorized the keyboard so I can watch T.V. and type as the same time; wothout diogn htis.
