Konfucius Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I'm also touch typing (except for some of the numbers) with all 10 fingers, from time to time I need a little backspace, but not every few words like I used to a about 2 or 3 years ago.
Hellfire Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I can type pretty well, and I don't even need to look at the keyboard. Yay for me!
EEVILMURRAY Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Here's another one Shabba'z http://www.careerstep.com/typeintro.html
Mr_Odwin Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I took one of the tests that Shorty gave, with a stupidly hard paragraph and it ended up as about 40 wpm after discarding the 10 words I got wrong. I don't touch type at all, which is really bad of me, and I generally only use a couple of fingers. You lot put me to shame. I'll work on it.
jakeee Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I use all of my fingers to type excluding the left thumb. I never look at my keyboard. It's slow and useless. My typing speed sucks though. If I try to type fast I make a lot of mistakes.
Letty Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I can type alright, but not when people are watching me, becasue I get nervous and make mistakes.
Katie Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I did a couple of those tests, I got 84WPM on Shorty's and 76WPM on Eevils. I should really use the shift key for caps rather than capslock but I can't help it anymore.
rizz Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I can touch type okay, I been typing for most of my life but I never really tried touch typing until recently, and its not something I do a lot. I prefer to look at the keyboard, just so I can type really fast and be sure what keys i'm going to hit. I don't type my fastest often, mainly in ICT classes when i've thought of a whole scentance I sometimes just speed up without thinking much about it.
Sonic238 Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Gross Words Per Minute (GWPM): 92 Net Words Per Minute (NWPM): 91 First try without reading the text before typing. I impressed myself
Dieter Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I touch type using dvorak and rarely look down, because the keys are all in the wrong places anyway. I tried the test twice, first time my GWPM was 73 and my NWPM was 72, second my GWPM was 103 and my NWMP was 101.
