Can you touch type? (and no looking at the keyboard if you can!!! lol)

I can do about 60-65wpm, and its really handy for writing and doing critiques

I learnt how to type at a TAFE class, and I've never regreted it.

Edit: I just did a typing test and got 85.... )

YES! I'm so sorry, but I have to brag. I've touch typed 111 words per minute (wpm)touch typing! My friend and I both accomplished this with a typing program at our school. God knows we might have done better because that is the maximum it can measure, I think. No mistakes, either. This is a reason why I prefer typing to the long way. Has anyone else here ever measured their wpm (and gotten better than 111)?
I just love writing, and typing comes easily for me.

I touch type at about 100-120 wpm depending on how much I know what I'm talking about.

I don't need a keyboard in front of me to type what I want to type. I can gauge when I make mistakes and hit the backspace button apropriately. (assuming that neither the screen, or backspace button is there, which they aren't in this scenario.)

This is a nice little tool for calculating how fast you can type.
As far as I can tell, it gauges up to 1560 wpm. (Using the ctrl+v function yeilded this result.)

I'm about 65-85 wpm, depending on if I know what I'm going to type, but I never look at the keyboard.

60-90 wpm without looking. Not great, but, hey, I have fingers! XD

110, average.


Haven't taken a test in awhile though so it may have changed.

65-75 or 75-85

Sam, you are such a show off sometimes that it isn't even funny!!!! AHHH!!!

I never really had a touch type test thing or what ever, but I can still touch type. But I am pretty slow. 40 - 50 wph. Man that's slow. *feels ashamed*

I usually type about 120 when I know what I'm writing. Otherwise I'm around 100wpm.

When I was in a typing class with my friend, we used to have competitions to see how fast we could type. I got up to like 130wpm, lol. It was hilarious though, 'cuz we had both memorized the sentences and we'd do it over and over.

I take it you want us to notice that?

Ya think?

75-95 for me. Faster if I'm inspired or know what it is I'm writing about. Slower when I'm tired or thinking too much.

I can only do 55-60 wpm.

No! I think it is because of my mouse, it does strange things so it must of forced me to do that. Can someone delete it for me? Oh great people.

I never look at the keyboard, maybe that's why people think I can't spell. I just took at typing test...104 words per min, my fingers are flying....

but normally probably around 80-90.

About 70 wpm. RUBBISH! lol
