stormdogOur security officer used half of my desk space yesterday while he was in the office for a little while. While he was here, he said that I'm the fastest typist he's ever seen and asked if I knew my speed.
It had been a long time since I'd taken a test (I think it was while I was looking for temp work in Michigan) and it was about 40 WPM with one or two errors back then. But I was curious, so I Googled up an online typing speed test and just tried it out.
I guess I've improved; I did 73WPM with 100% accuracy. Obivously I'd have to try a few times on different blocks of test to get a more accurate sense of things, but that's fairly quick, isn't it? I get frustrated trying to use Dragon Naturally Speaking even though it would probably save me some wrist pain; most times I can type faster and more accurately than it can listen to me talk. I wonder if I could make money doing some kind of home transcription work on the side.
And now I'm curious again as to how I compare with other people. Do you know what your typing speed is? If not, do you want to go take a one minute test and find out and post your results here? That could be kind of interesting. The test I used is over here; I used the 'Zebra' text.
