WPM - or words per minute - measures your typing speed. I figure most of us on tl.net should have pretty high WPMs. :-) To measure your WPM, go here.

Mine:

Net Speed: 86 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 94%
Gross Speed: 91 WPM
(words/minute)

A few guidelines:

around 30 WPM is the speed of an average internet user.
50-60 WPM is the speed of an average office worker.
around 80 WPM plus is the speed of a professional typist.
100 plus WPM is the speed of an advanced professional typist.

100 WPM might have been the speed of an advanced professional typist in the 80's, but with people growing up with computers these days, it's nothing special.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

70 on my laptop 1st run.

I think I could break 100 with my natural keyboard...

From the other thread:

You type 540 characters per minute
You have 103 correct words and
you have 1 wrong words

Gross Speed: 130 WPM

I did this test a year or two ago, and it was about 145 WPM with 100% accuracy. Since then I've stopped writing as much so I don't get as much practice simply typing fast. People keep blankly staring at me from across a room at my typing, but it's honestly nothing special.

I don't think 100 can be the speed of a professional typist >.>. I learned to type this fast just by being on the internet a lot and playing a couple mmo's, I'm sure that many others are the same.

Yeah, it seems weird that 100 should be "professional typist." That's like... teenage IRC fast, not professional typist fast.
