How fast can you type?

Rules:
Take as many attempts as you need. (I usually go until I get no errors on a round.)
No using inspect element to change the score.
Post your screen shot below! (They offer a button that allows you take just take the image of your results.)


This might be stupid to some, but I think why not post it and give it a try. And a little friendly competition will never hurt.

Take the test here:

You can also change the language if you are more comfortable with another.
My best is 66 with English words, 77 with Hungarian. It's a pretty good typing excercise in general too.

46 English, 50 German.

Nice test, like a game. I should try again to top Kexo.

Edit: Shit, damn, I am slow. Look at Gekko. :)

I made a lot of mistakes though. And of course I'm not typing like that all day, otherwise my hands would be slapping my face begging me to stop the madness.

62 English, 2 mistakes. This test is biased to people who type real words.
If instead of "dog cat house broom" it was "# dog **char[(house, h)]; house->broom" I think I'd far more competitive. ;)

Interesting, I just had 67 with the T43 keyboard (three mistakes, and the keyboard is a bit further away on the desk and I hit the 'clit' a few times instead of the "B") and 63 with the IBM Clicky Model M keyboard (zero mistakes). I repeated the test a few times and always got more typing mistakes with the laptop keyboard than with the 'real' thing.

To my defense, both keyboards I am not fully accustomed to yet :D

^ that divorce took longer than i would've liked, but that is simply because the courts aren't as fast as i am :D
the wedding was 5 minutes though, so we rocked that pretty well. surprised nobody has made the obvious sex-related comment yet ;)

Though I am not sure why typing speed would matter. That's like speaking speed. :D First know what you want to write/speak, then go for it.

Wanna see this test using assembler language or escape sequences :D

BTW, you can upload images to linuxbbq and embed directly. "Full editor" -> Add file -> Submit

90 words per minute is some serious business haha.

@Bacon: I know typing speed does it matter but I just thought it is fun to do because everyone types faster when it is there thoughts. It is a whole different story when you have to copy something :D

Mine's too embarrassing to post. It's a good thing I'm taking keyboarding when I return to school.
