EPTI use caps lock instead of shift.
I type at about 60-70 words per minute.

I just do whatever I feel like. Space usually goes to my thumbs, everything else depends on where my hands are at that point. The site is wayy too slow, I finished typing the next word and the system hasnt even caught up. edit: Maybe I didnt hit space hard enough. :/ | ||

As a programmer most of my typing won't be a nice continuous flow it'll need loads of thinking all the time so when I was back in school my speed was probably like 120 wpm when I used to write reports and stuff. | ||

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_is_the_fastest_typist_in_the_world (disclaimer, these aren't the greatest sites, but I'm lazy and this was the first thing google spat out at me) I'm inclined to think that if any of you actually had a typing program on your computer that actually records how many WPM you do, and your accuracy, that you would all fall FAR short of what you're posting in this thread. As for me, I use the standard qwerty keyboard, and do around 90 WPM if I'm practicing 8 hours a day for months. If not, I top out at around 70 WPM. I maintain 100% accuracy in this too. *edit* For everyone taking "tests" that give you words and shorts bursts, you are artificially increasing how fast you type. If you actually had to type for over 5 minutes instead of taking these car game "tests" that end in 40 seconds, your speed would fall a LOT. Take a standardized typing program (I'll use Mavis Beacon) and take a random sentence test with a time of 5 minutes, none of you would get over 100 WPM with 100% accuracy. | ||

I just did that type speed test, I got: You type 439 characters per minute You have 83 correct words and you have 0 wrong words It was odd typing random words in that..... Normally there is some kind of "flow", making it easier to type for me. | ||

Assuming what your link says is true, the typist maintained that speed for 50 minutes, which is quite a feat. I've hit 160+ wpm once on a very simple passage but average 110-120 wpm. If you wiki the typing championships, Sean Wrona is one of the fastest, and you can find his top scores on typeracer. (I think he averages 200+ wpm. Remember that passages are reused and can become familiarized with. He didn't hit this speed in the competition of course.) | ||

Edit: Also when I type for a long time or do really high APM/Micro my hands become... I'm not quite sure how to put it, not functional? I have to take a break after each really intense game. | ||

I remember back in 9th grade, the typing teacher kept giving me bad grades because I wasn't using the proper homerow typing method, to the point of almost failing. I wound up complaining and got my 99 after proving that I could type pretty much twice as fast as she could and with less errors. Isn't that the whole point of typing anyway? I don't even use all of my fingers. | ||
