I think learning to type quickly is important. Not so much because of the speed, but because the muscle-memory required to type without looking allows one to not become distracted by the act of typing. From this perspective it is more important to be able to type without looking with few mistakes than worrying about words-per-minute.
That being said, I just tested myself and apparently I'm at 116 WPM this was higher than I expected.
- jolmg 8y agoI'm stunned. drakonka also said he does above a 100 WPM. I've done 3 tests on different sites right now, and I do between 50 and 60 WPM. How can you type twice as fast? Are you using something other than qwerty? Does your language have frequent short words?
- ilovetux 8y agoNo, standard qwerty keyboard. The test I took was on TypingTest.com (no affiliation, just first result in a web search) and chose the two minute, Aesop's fable test.
