cags Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 78 - 76, quite surprised, it's been ages since I've done any real amount of typing, I thought it would be lower.

premiso Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Avereaged from that site, 90 WPM from 3 seperate tests. Been a while since I actually type with punctions where you had to get it right to proceed, caught me off guard the first time. Fun little deal though Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/201925-whats-your-wpm/#findComment-1059768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I got 85, but that number doesn't mean much to me. When I'm writing I don't just have a continuous stream of words coming through my mind. I'll actually have to stop and consider what I want to write. Naturally, I can't write faster than I can think of something to write. I know some people don't think about what they're writing though. It's very rare that I'm transcribing text like in this exercise. Also, writing is far from a linear process for me. I'll write something, add something between some sentences, exchange some words with others while I'm writing. It may well be good being able to score high on such a test, but the test doesn't portray anything that's even remotely near what I do, and I wouldn't imagine that there are very many people who spend a lot of their time transcribing text.

.josh Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I did 10 tests with 100% accuracy: High: 96 Low: 84 Average: 88 But fyi if you fix your typos during the test, it doesn't count it as an error, though it obviously hurts your wpm (other tests I've taken count the error regardless of whether you fix it or not; dunno which method is really more accurate :/). So if I roughly accounted for that, my wpm would be slightly higher but with errors knocking it back down (which I guess more or less evens out to just counting 100% accuracy runs, but idk...) Also for shits and grins I more or less memorized the paragraph and went balls to the wall and got 136 -> 122.

TeddyKiller Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 First Attempt: 3 WPM Adjusted. Only because I typed in capitals >.< Second Attempt: 96 WPM Adjusted. I would usually get around the 100 Mark.

Mchl Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I got it around 50. English punctuation confuses me Anyway, I guess what's really interesting is LOCPD factor. Anyone want to share their numbers?

cags Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It was the shear number of Capitals & Numbers that throws me off. I nearly always use my left pinky for capitals which slows me down considerably. and I have to look at the keyboard for anything above the QWERTY line.

TeddyKiller Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Capitals don't make me struggle, or anythign above the QWERTY line as such. It's usually when I have to use the shift for punctuation. Then there is the common typos like 'teh' for 'the' Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/201925-whats-your-wpm/#findComment-1060012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your WMP is different if you need to first read and then type then when you just have to type what comes to your mind. Someone may score average on such a typing test but may have to buy 3 keyboard's a year because of his coding speed.

Someone may score average on such a typing test but may have to buy 3 keyboard's a year because of his coding speed. Well, yeah... that's the reason why I did the test multiple times and even memorized the text... your wpm significantly increases if you know what you're typing ahead of time vs. having to read it, process it, and spit it back out. My testing and posted results were intended to show that distinction.
