Kirschen Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 For some reason, my WPM is terrible on the tests and yet I am way faster when it comes to deciding what I want to type/topic. The most I got was 72WPM in a computer tech class in Freshman year of High School, but I was doing the "improper way" (not typing certain keys with the "right fingers"), which was a lot faster than when I did it the way the teacher expected. Also, I'm not really mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) I'm sure I could do better - I might go again :P For some reason, my WPM is terrible on the tests and yet I am way faster when it comes to deciding what I want to type/topic.I know what you mean. I'm loads faster when I'm thinking about what I want to type and then typing it vs looking at something else and trying to type that.

K4ylan Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I still don't know how to type "properly" either. I only use my left middle and thumb, and both index fingers. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champion Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 NOOOOOO But yeah, I don't type "correctly" either. I look up and down from the screen to the keyboard and my fingers are in totally incorrect places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 That test I scored 65 WPM, but I don't think I do so good on tests I type. I sort of do inverted touch typing. I tend to use just two fingers and stare at the keyboard without looking up and then I type much faster, probably close to your 90 odd WPM score; thought obviously this cannot transfer to tests as you have to look at the screen in order to do the typing so it can only really test the childish typing of looking between screen and keyboard and proper touch typing. As others mentioned I think they thinking about what you want to write and not trying to read and copy also speeds you up as it becomes sort of a direct action of brain to movement opposed to vision to brain to processing it to movement.

RpgGamer Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I had 51 WPM, but I can type way faster if I know what the words are in my head before I type them. My conscious streams of thought are way faster than predetermined sentences. I won't argue with the word accuracy though. Sometimes I feel like I have dyslexia lol.

I'm loads faster when I'm thinking about what I want to type and then typing it vs looking at something else and trying to type that. In my case, my WPM drops *drastically* when it comes to the tests (rather noticeable too). Also, your WPM is just amazing. EDIT: 57 WPM (62 with 5 errors) on Oz setting. Will wait awhile since I do worse on the 2nd time since I type like a madman. It was rather fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Tripsis...just holy shit. Replace your keyboard often? I got 61 wpm, with 8 errors, which sounds about right, so 53 wpm, which again is about right. I might type a bit faster when I think up the words myself, but I also pause to think. I never learned to touch type either. I learned to type by playing runescape. If you type enough, you start to remember where the keys are, but my fingers don't follow the right patterns or stick on the right keys (I know how your supposed to do it. I normally only use 3 fingers on my right hand, and mostly two on my left (my left ring finger handles the A key, and not much else). My pinkies only get used for the shift key. I also don't bother to always use the same fingers for the same keys, it kinda depends on where my hand is on the keyboard, so I guess all that is slowing me down lol. But yeah. Wow Tripsis. Just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sees_all1 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I got 68 on the Astronauts... but that test sucked with its numbers, names and random punctuation. I was up to 85 on Wizard of Oz when I bumped my trackpad and my browser went away.

Sy_Accursed Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The tests deffo gotta play a part in final wpm Wizard of Oz I did worse than test rules, because the dated and oddly placed punctuation in wizard of oz made me keep stumbling to find the right keys; what don't help is continually moving from mac to windows so the punctuations moves around a bit.

Kirschen Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yeah, it's weird. Not only the subject is different, but the way it was written makes it conflict with the typing style you are used to. I think I'll try "Tigers in the Wild" in a few minutes. Will post results after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaida23 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 61 and 3, so 58 adjusted on "Astronauts". ~60WPM is about where I peaked during my typing class back in grade 9, and apparently I haven't gotten much better. :P Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

Kirschen Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Enchanted Typewriter, 1 minute, 6 errors... End result: 63 WPM. I think my downside is that I make too many errors and that I tried to go back to fix it instead of moving on. This is rather enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alg Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 ~48 WPM on the Baseball one.I'm a slow typist in general, I completely disregard the standard style (One-handed, woo!) and I went back to fix errors rather than charge through them, which didn't help my time because I had to stop and think about what I did wrong.

Sly_Wizard Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I did the typing test and got 89 WPM (92 - 3). I know I can type 100 WPM if I really concentrate, but I'm too lazy to try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
