This is not a show off thread, neither is it a thread to joke or chat, it is strictly base on topic. I was finding out how to improve my speed, then i came up with the idea to know how fast i type and how fast others type so i can know what step to face next. So I google for something and this is what i found;

I know we got others who can type faster, go ahead nairalanders and post ur result, even if it is 18WPM or over 140WPM.

Nairalanders are u guys asleep?

zzzzzzzZZZZ!

dont spoil this thread, if you dont have anything to say leave, its not by force to post

When last i checked, my typing speed was 40wpm. i shall now go to that site u suggested. wish me luck,

I do wish u luck, u know its kinda frightful to check

wer @ all ma fellas?

I type 150-160 words per min

I dont use typing tests cuz i dont believe in their accuracy.

I type pretty fast with my eyes on the screen. I dont look at the keys to type but i can't close my eyes and type for long. The quickest key i hit is the backspace key, you should know why.

I type html, css and php pretty fast too. I'm slow on Javascript.

Learnt typing through years of being in chat rooms and talking with others online.

My typing is very fast with my "home" laptop. If i get on a new laptop or someone else' laptop i have problems with keys like Backspace, Enter, and Shift and it can be really frustrating cuz it really slows me down when i hit the wrong Shiift + Key combination. The sizes of these keys vary across laptop keypads.  I type faster on a laptop than on a desktop.

Its always interesting to look at those who type very fast on the Number pad area of the keyboard. I cant do that.

I av got mine upgraded to 64, Dual Core _{(Cos i know how u hate the other version of your name)} u are rite, those test aint 100% accurate.

@skip

U must be a wizard, how do i learn to increase my speed in typing, i want to type @ least 100WPM, and i think i still have problem with number its kinda hard u know

@Dual Core

Yet it can be quite intimidating typing with someone else keyboard. As for me I prefer typing with a desktop keyboard than a laptop. maybe its wat we are use to

We Nigerian are bad at typing we always use the wrong fingers but could be really fast sometimes, I gross 39wpm

@ bigfoot

@iice

i like ur style, sometimes some of them will ask you "where is the 'a' alphabet", and they keep asking u for different letters, till they practically ask you for all the letters in their password. lol. But the funny thing is, its of no use

My typing speed is fast enough for me to do
