Typing Test
I had taken this online typing test before on a laptop while sitting on the couch. Tonight I was sitting behind behind my desktop computer and decided to retry the test, because Dennis posted his results.
It feels a bit like a "who's got the biggest" contest, but here are the results of my first attempt:
Number of words typed: 219
Test duration: 3 min
Speed: 73.2 words/min. (366 keystrokes/min.)
Error penalty: 12
Accuracy: 94.5%
Not entirely happy with this, I retried the test. Every time you take the test a different text appears, so retrying is not cheating ;). These are the results of my second try:
Number of words typed: 245
Test duration: 3 min
Speed: 81.6 words/min. (408 keystrokes/min.)
Error penalty: 19
Accuracy: 92.2%
Beat this, Dennis! (Shouldn't be too hard :-)
