*sniff* You all make me feel really slow. Last time I took the test (last week in my computer applications class) I got a 66 WPM and 3 mistakes. I'm the fastest in my class by far! Everyone is envious of my "skills", whatever those are. And yet, I seem to be the slowest here! Maybe I should practice my typing after I figure out how to write a titch neater. lol

I wouldn't call that a very accurate picture of my typing skills actually. I'm rather bad at copying things, and have a lower accuracy at something like that, versus what I normally can do just from my own head. I can go pretty fast and pretty accurately, but definately much more so when it's something I'm just putting down rather than copying while timed. XD

Anyhow, I never really mastered typing the "official" way. I guess even there I had to do my own thing. :lol:


I have to agree...I always do horribly at these typing tests when I'm copying their own material, but I type at about 90 wpm with hardly any errors when I am typing from my own mind. . I got 75 WPM...with 47 errors. Bah. Errors are an illusion. :evil:

Bleh. If these tests would stop using words I don't know life would be a lot easier.

65 WPM with 3 mistakes. I'm usually way better.

I only did the first one.

I was 63 WPM, with no errors.

It's definitely easier to type without having to write a paragraph that is pre-written. Like, if I were just free writing, I'd probably type faster and would still take care to make sure I'm not making any errors. But I still enjoy taking these tests =]

You're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're better than you are. Sure, they're weak, and they cheat and steal and destroy and disappoint, but they also give and create, and they sing and dance and love. Above all, they never give up.
