60 wpm. I've been in Dvorak exclusively for about a month now; my speed in Qwerty was something like 70-80 wpm before. If I make a conscious effort to type faster and especially to make fewer mistakes I could probably get quite a bit faster than I was in Qwerty before, as Dvorak is honestly a much better layout. Only downside is that I absolutely can't type in Qwerty anymore; I wind up looking at the keyboard to be able to type in it now.

They way it explains 1 mistake per minute is the acceptable limit pisses me off.

This was too difficult for me. I keep having these strange "sudden realizations of low awareness". How to solve this problem?

99 wpm, 1 mistake. (1.3 per minute?)


Other typing tests have pegged me between 95-110 ^_^

WPM: 90
Mistakes: 4

My problem lies in the fact that while I'm typing I'm reading ahead from what my fingers are doing. Though I don't make many mistakes when I do it means that I have to look back and figure out what the mistake was. Gah.

Side Note: People look at me funny because I can type while not looking at the screen and carry a conversation simultaneously. I think I compartmentalize well.

57 wpm; 6.7 mistakes per minute.

To be fair, I can type in 4 alphabets with only an English keyboard. I used to be better at typing.

I attribute this to me constantly trying to spell typing as "tpying", then having to stop and figure out where i was in the sentence. Honestly, I swear I am mildly dyslexic.

I have a habit of going back to fix my mistakes as soon as possible, which the test says specifically not to do, so I had to retake it a few times until I could break myself of that. And then I became extremely self-conscious of the test which led me to make more mistakes than I think I normally do. I just need a typing test where the text is completely static. It's far too distracting otherwise. But other tests still score me at ~95 wpm.
