<p>College folks - how fast can you type that paper or report? I'm trying to find out what the average typing speed is for the average computer-familiar college kid. Are there any people in college who are typing one letter at a time/really slow?</p>
<p>i type around 30-40 words per minute.....i don't know if that speed is good/avg/bad...care to tell??</p>
<p>30-40 sounds good to me :) I think 150 wpm is the maximum for human beings, and I think 70 wmp is superb for a student, but I'm not sure... which is why I'm asking.</p>
<p>I'm around 40 right now, but right after I took a keyboarding class (four years ago) i was at around 65.</p>
<p>80+ WPM if I know what I am typing. I was about to enter the career field of Information Technology but I had an internship and realized that the just blows.</p>
<p>Also, my job requires a lot of data entry and I headed a school project that allow students to get a little credit for reaching a certain typing speed.</p>
<p>how do you find out how many words per minute you can type? Just time yourself? Anyone know a website that can tell you?</p>

<p>Learn 2 Type only takes away WPM for errors made after you submit.</p>
<p>i was 30 WPM. I consider myself a pretty slow typer</p>
<p>I'm a pretty consistent 70wpm, 90+ if I cut my nails:)</p>
<p>I type exceptionally fast, as long as I am not trying to make a copy like all those online tests. If the information is coming stright from my head then I type up around 70. I do tend to make a lot of errors (well not a lot, but there will be typo's) however typically I can catch them and fix them without losing much time.</p>
<p>I type around 50 wpm.</p>
<p>i can type around 80 or 90 pretty consistantly. my best five scores on that learn2type site averaged together were 97.</p>
<p>Around 65-70 when I don't have to type numbers. For some reason I've never learned to type numbers without looking :-(</p>
<p>With errors I only averaged 43 on 5 tries on the learn2type website. Not being able to spell doesn't help too much. Without errors I was up at almost 70..</p>
<p>I got 83 WPM on the test all four times i tried it, so i guess i'm pretty consistent xP.. AIM really helps you improve your typing speed haha</p>
<p>Around 70 wpm according to the online test.</p>
<p>According to the online test about 75 words per minute, but that's on my laptop. I got a lot of practice typing in 4th grade because I was pretty advanced for my age, so the teacher had me type up her stuff in the back while she taught all of the other kids stuff that I already knew.</p>
<p>i can type around 100 wpm with no mistakes, around ~110+ if 2 or 3 mistakes per minute. </p>
<p>it's above average I guess. all my speed comes from 6 years of AIM usage and intense online gaming, heh.</p>
<p>^same. I get around 100-110 wpm consistently (with few errors), but I'm in high school. dunno how I got so fast. I spend a lot of time on the computer though.</p>
<p>80 wpm for me.</p>
