I was around 57 wpm. A few mistakes. I took it like 3 times and was pretty consistently shitty each time. Best was 59 with 1 wrong word.

Oh well.

You type quite fast, my friend.

Thanks; I've started early on typewriters, but cut corners until I've found "type 101" in my local bookstore a few years back. :p Boring but well worth it.

Depends on the keyboard. I type faster on Thinkpad keyboards, mainly because there's the added perk of fondling the trackpoint clitoris every few seconds.

Bathing in peanut butter is good for the soul. Not the chunky kind though, the chunks get stuck in your crack.

I was tired last night, but I managed to hit 74 on my second try today.

Jesus Christ Alad! I just hooked up my new (old) IBM Modular CANPOS model I picked up the other day, right off the bat I got 60 but with 3 wrong words, and I'm not quite used to these keys that are a tad bit smaller, but my mistake with this test is also backspacing and correcting instead of moving forward. Going to do it again later once I grow accustomed to this keyboard. I'm LOVING this keyboard so far though, literally 5 minutes after plugging it in. SO FUCKING LOUD!

I'm quite sure I'm much slower when it comes to Chinese, but I haven't tested it out.

You're at 140 WPM though... it's hard to improve from 100 onwards. :(

I should probably relearn touch typing, I haven't been able to utilise all 10 fingers yet (current average utilisation rate at 6-8)
