19. Lol, I'm so terrible. The Astronaut one is so hard with all the "quotation marks". What's also problematic to me is capital letters, I'm supposed to press shift with my pinky right? But it takes so long for me, when i reach my pinky over to shift it's hard to reach certain other keys with that hand. How do I Capitalised?

i've typed for courtrooms before

That averages out to 3.35 words per second. I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit, even if you are a stenographer. Unless, of course, all of your words were one- and two-letter words, in which case carry on.

EDIT: I've taken the test before. I'm 100-110 with 99-100% accuracy.

I'm pretty sure > around 110 WPM with QWERTY keyboard is virtually impossible. Way too many consecutive keys with one hand which leads to stuff like MIssed CApitals and teh (the) and other such words.

My WPM is at BEST 110 and hovers around 100WPM - APM is 180 when I really spam. Probably 130 APM in an average game.

Yeah, this sounds a little fishy... especially after checking out Wikipedia and doing some searching on Google.

From Wikipedia, "As of 2005[update], writer Barbara Blackburn was the fastest English language typist in the world, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. Using the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard, she has maintained 150 words per minute (wpm) for 50 minutes, and 170 wpm for shorter periods. She has been clocked at a peak speed of 212 wpm. Blackburn, who failed her QWERTY typing class in high school, first encountered the Dvorak keyboard in 1938, quickly learned to achieve very high speeds, and occasionally toured giving speed-typing demonstrations during her secretarial career. She appeared on The David Letterman Show and felt she was made a spectacle of.[5] Blackburn died in April 2008.[5]"

Also, I only got a 73. However, I use a strange combination of Pecking and Touch Typing. -_-

I consistently get 82-83 with 100% accuracy. It's a habit to correct any spelling errors I make during typing... @_@

First try of 85ish WPM with no errors.

2nd try on fastest as possible:
Gross WPM: 98
Adjusted WPM: 96 (2 errors).

Had to correct like 10 words because when I type fast I usually reverse 2 letters so I press backspace really quick. If I didn't do that my WPM probably goes over 100

APM in sc2: 150-170 avg

Rofl.

I hit around ~140 with 100% accuracy for prolonged periods, but can "max" at 155+ with 100% accuracy if I'm taking one of those one/two minute typing tests.

Interestingly, I can't actually type faster than around 165 even with mistakes. It's quite strange.

EDIT: This is on my Thinkpad laptop. Goddamn Lenovo makes good keyboards.
EDIT2: I've also played classical piano since I was four (lulz).
