Mine is embarrassing.

I just woke up, so gimme a break. lol

[Demensia]

54

but a lot of the words that are in the thing are different to what I would normally use.

I generally look at my keyboard as I type, so I wouldn't consider it to be perfectly accurate.

Took it in German (Which I have no knowledge of) for lols and got 57.

Also people shouldn't be intimidated by Seba and I's WPMs. I've had speed-typing training and would suspect Seba has as well.

[Seba]

Speed training is a thing?

I just took a basic keyboarding class in middle school. Albeit, I did use the time to try and beat all of my classmates' speeds once I finished the regular course.

62 but I just woke up as well. Gimme a little while.

Edit. 72 that time.

Basically what I was referring to. I took a keyboarding class in HS, and our teacher encouraged us to put each other to shame with fast typing speeds. I was able to regularly type in the high 80's back in the day.

112 words/minute.



EDIT: for clarification, I've never taken a typing or speed training class in my life.

I'm not surprised.

55. I feel utterly inadequate.

[mbl]

excuse me for trying to make the people who suck at typing feel better, you cunts.

[Hank]

It does say I'm better than 99% of all people who took that test. More than 100 words/minute is definitely not the norm.

[LightAlysCity]

I'ma beatcha.

[Noir]

77. These are so much harder than just typing normally for some reason. Still did better than I thought I would.

The fact that I can type that fast at all is a miracle considering I just memorize the keys and flop my middle/index fingers all over the keyboard.

None of that fancy asdfjkl; shit

Ugh, home row. PTSD from junior high typing class triggered. It clearly didn't help me very much, we just had a teacher who would literally sit there and vocally instruct us which keys to press in a monotone voice. "A, space, a, space, aaa, space..."
