Default Online Typing Test

Just so that I could quantify how pathetic of a typist that I really am, I found this online typing test.

http://www.typingtest.com/

My best was 46 WPM with 2 errors. My worst was 42 WPM with 5 errors.

I had someone apply at my office recently that said she could type 150 wpm. I can't see how that is possible.

So who is the CG typing king or queen?

I keep getting phone calls interrupting me. Geeze, I didn't realize I was that slow. 53 wpm, no errors.

81. I can type faster than I can think. And I have a body of work to support it.

68 words per minute, 4 errors. Too much pressure.

That's addictive. I keep getting 79 and I can't break into the 80's without making stupid mistakes.

Something fun: Set it to 2 minutes and try to finish the whole test. I'd have bet a thousand dollars that I could do it, but so far I can't get the last sentence finished. Also, my wpm drops from 79 to 76 on the 2 minute test.

62 words per minute, 2 errors. The first was because I forgot to capitalize the first word.

I could do better, I'm sure of it. And I suck at typing.
