How fast can you type?

[Blazzok]

My manager recently had interviews for a new Clerk, because he wants to shift the current Clerk to do something else. Part of the interview was a typing test, because they had to be able to type a certain words per minute within a certain accuracy (no idea what the critea was).

I asked the Clerk to send me link to the typing test to see how I did, just for shits and giggles. I did the test several times, because I realised that some "tests" were more difficult than others due to the word choices.

I consistently managed between 70 and 80 Words Per Minute, with an accuracy higher than 90%.

I actually did pretty well in the below pic. I honestly didn't know how fast I type, I just remember that I managed like 30 WPM at school, so I thought I was somewhere in that range.



Here is the URL for the test: https://wordchapter.com/typingtest/typing-test/

Have at it!

I used to be quicker back when I used to play MMORPGs and needed to type often, my mic and ts/discord combination made my fingers lazy.

Ok, using my work laptop I get this:



I much prefer play.typeracer, of which I havent been on in a while, but gives an indication of average speed etc. Its also quite fun and a nice way to improve your speed.

my result just showed me the middle finger and told me f*ck right off...

 

[blaaislaai]

Gross WPM 83
Errors 8
Net WPM 75
Accuracy 90.31%
Time 1 minute
Keystrokes 413

I guess not too bad.

extremely, but that's due to autocomplete. If not for autocomplete I type relatively slowly.

Don't tell me you use Grammarly

Considering I have to look at my fingers when typing due to my disformity. I am happy with that score. I rather type slower and score the 0 errors in any case.

Naa, "cop <tab> sta<tab run<tab>" -> "copy startup-config running-config"

Haha same here. Tab completes everything. Will see if I can do this typing test tonight.

Not bad for someone who doesn't type too much.
