WPM?

[skarlorn]

I have been interviewing some candidates for a customer service type role. It reminded me how pathetic most people's WPM count is. These fuckers applying to me with 60 WPM, cringe.

My wpm clocks between 120-150. What about you?

I'm guessing we have a lot of elite typists on these boards.

Can I do it from my house?

[hyejin]

140 tops when my hands work. :(

my dragon input is equivalent to like 20wpm.

Yes, but I would never hire u for customer placation role. You would make a better manager so you could be mean to ppl :)

I'm available from 2pm - 11pm EST on the weekdays and free on weekends.

Id say around 100 WPM. If Sirken got a new keyboard I'm sure he could type faster ;)

About 100 wpm
when typing with my dick

why do all the good topics always sprout when I decide im gonna take a break from posting?

my wampum is highly inconsistent. I type my passwords VERY quickly. I type everything else at I dunno speed, but am highly prone to error, increasingly so as speed escalates. errors are uniform across all activities though; not just typing. as long as i go slow I can do it right ^^

never took a typing speed test. J, could vouch for my inconsistency though ^^

p99ers are in the top 0.1% of pretty much every important metric.

Just did some Google test and it's 90 wpm. I never learned to type using all fingers. I'm one of them old people who only use their index fingers but I guess I type pretty quickly using them (shift, alt are multi-fingered). I blame your parents for me never learning.

Haven’t tested it in a looong time, but back then it was 80+.. probably faster now..?

got off the phone with someone who had a foriegn accent, they said they could not help me.

call back demand to talk to someone with an american accent, theyre on the phone with fedex tracking down my issue.

annnnnd he's got a new package being re-delivered, expedited overnight shipping free of charge.

Man.... Build. A. Wall.

Mick, you're dumb.

[Secrets]

125-150 WPM on average. It really depends on if the sentence includes a number; I've never learned how to use numpad effectively and I memorized the distance between keys for ` to = mnemonically.

[mickmoranis]

Mick, you're dumb.

I may be dumb but you're complacent.

thanks for asking :)

When I was clocked last, nearly 10 years ago at this point, I was around 140. I know I've gotten a little faster since then, likely sit around 150 or so if I had to guess.

Depends how good she takes dictation, if you know what I mean.

EQ taught me how to type. My "computer class" in middle / high school was effectively just typing lessons. The teacher flipped out when I came back one summer at 100+ WPM and 100% accuracy whereas before I was pushing 30/80, respectively. "I can't believe you spent all summer practicing!" "Uhh... Yeah. Me neither."

Re: Sirken getting a new keyboard. I still use my 1986 Model M and I'm definitely faster on it than most other "modern" keyboards. I feel that newer keyboards aren't as good at picking up on nearly simultaneous keystrokes and tend to drop characters. There's also something to be said for being able to literally "bang out an angry email" and not worry about breaking your keyboard =p

That said, some of the smaller keyboards that require less finger travel definitely improve my WPM, it just depends if they can keep up with me or not. I'm not consistently fast though - I would estimate that I start out around 120 and get faster the longer I'm typing during that session. I also never learned how to type "correctly" I just did the hunt and peck with index fingers and slowly added fingers over the years. I type the same letter with different fingers for example. It just depends which finger happens to be closer. In this paragraph, I used my left middle finger to hit the Y key a few times...

I also switch between using the numpad and the digit row (what's that line called anyway?) It depends how many numbers I need to type. Anything greater than a phone number is generally numpad.

looks like i am at 88 ^.~

really? i'da thought much higher ^^

i'm tempted to say your strength must be thinking super fast, but that can't be right. perhaps intuiting fast?

yeah, I think you right, it's not thinking fast (*^o^*);; one difference I thought of is that when I was taking th test I was reading and copying and ended up with more errors,because I read slow and have troubl focusing so my fingers stumbled a lot. then i ate up a bunch of time correcting those as I went along. maybe I will try a different test or try that one again without fixing the errors ^^; there were a LOT.
