... Service temporarily unavailable :( - Blah_Blah_Blah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+107WHAT?! you cant BOTH be the slowest! one of you LIES!!
- Paroparo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+74Less than you, so I'm not telling. -_-
- diggstown, on 10/12/2007, -4/+656345.39 WPM with -53 errors.
And of course, my self worth is tied to those numbers too. - dicerandom, on 10/12/2007, -4/+55You know you're surrounded by geeks when 97wpm and 1 error is only an average score.
- nottidredd, on 10/12/2007, -18/+5832 wpm, wow you guys would make great secretarys... ***** losers
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42man, you guys are so fast, you crashed the site.
- gn0sc3r3, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26Good find, just curious though ... how did everyone do.
88.1 WPM - shibbay, on 10/12/2007, -10/+29144.87 WPM
597.14 CPM
(0 mistakes)
Coding websites, chatting online and writing college papers does that to ya.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Huh, is it e-penis time already?
- kodek, on 10/12/2007, -10/+24136.81 wpm

It took me three tries to get the hang of it, though.

document.getElementById('test').value = h;
:P - djaoki, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15btw...you will all make mighty fine receptionists one day!
- thewump, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16Only 97wpm with 3 mistakes but that's because I stopped for a beer in the middle
- horrorpunk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13We will just say that I'm pretty sure I'm the slowest here.
- theOster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+926.8 with 18 mistakes.
in the dark and a six pack.
i can only assume that the six pack is helping my score. i suck as a typist.
bury me. i dont know why i'm even doing this....
oh right the six pack...um. sorryy - Blah_Blah_Blah, on 10/12/2007, -5/+137 million. and 5.
- cjsedwards, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9125, 2 errors, and I'm drunk right now

- EricJD, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14Pathetic server.
- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_per_minute
Some statistics to measure yourselves by. I think we've all spent too much time on the keyboard by Wikipedia's standards. - DarkHorizon5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6first and only try
158.57 wpm
688.42 cpm
2 mistakes
It's interesting... I don't think it actually reflects my typing ability though, I can't type that well when i'm not reading the characters off the screen. - theOster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+512.3 words per minute. i was reading, re-reading and re-reading some more before i realized that i had and extra return in the text.
also. i'm wasted.
lets have another go... - Poland, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12Site is down already...
- goodkidyo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+511 inches.... around....think about it.
- KChambers, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8That was really cool. I got 94.3 wpm with 3 errors. I always find myself almost auto-correcting mistakes without looking, I'll miss a key and fix the errors all in one swoop but error correction speed is never measured :(. lol Thank you MUDs and MMORPGs for improving my untrained typing.
- lotuseater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is innacurate. I get 120 wpm here, but in any other test I get around 85.
- JimmyLin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7I got 169.6 wpm, 686.87 cpm, 0 mistakes
http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/7182/typingtestct7.png - ronin2040, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3it took you close to 8 minutes to post that comment?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Please don't take your WPM from this test seriously, as the numbers are way high. I know I only type 80-90 WPM tops, and it's firing off silly numbers like 140-150 WPM. Trust me, none of us are as fast as this thing says we are. Try this for a more accurate number.
http://www.typingtest.com/test/default.asp - biff198, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Well, it was pretty difficult, especially because the site is down. I did, however, go to duggmirror, and they got it (except for the image) meaning I had to use trial and error to get ever few letters. It took me about a minute to get "might live. I" so I guess my typing speed is pretty bad...
- rabbitt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I love people who use that ionCube HTML/JavaScript Encoder thinking it will "protect" their page. It's funny - and it only takes < 5 minutes to decrypt the whole thing. what a joke. (note: I can post it if people are interested and too lazy to decrypt it themselves)...
Beyond that - it's a fun little game. :-) - riczho, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It really annoys me when somebody thinks that they can hide their source with javascript like that.... Let it be known that these things don't work! If the browser can render it, the viewer can easily get the source. You can make slightly more inconvenient, but there's nothing that can be done-- so why bother? In this case, it takes about 5 minutes to change eval(stuff) to prompt('',stuff) and copy out the original source.
For your convenience, here it is:
http://pastebin.ca/353066 - Doorfingers, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9did it have to be the gettysburg address?
couldn't be cat in the hat or something like that? - MercuryOne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+288 wpm, 9 errors >_>
- Yoshi39, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Mice I'm felling for you
33wpm
5 errors
According to wikipedia I'm average now the big question is weather that it is a good or a bad thing... - presto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I just copied and pasted it!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2In typewritten texts and other documents printed in fixed-width fonts, there is a convention among lay writers that two spaces are placed after the period (along with the other sentence enders: question mark and exclamation mark), as opposed to the single space used after other punctuation symbols. This is sometimes termed "French spacing".
- clievers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I tried quite a few times. My two best ones are
76.43 wpm with 6 mistakes
88 wpm with 3 mistakes - Bluu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2143.62 wpm
0 errors
first try. and last try, goodnight - razorgator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+270 and no mistakes
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Who uses a double space after a period and why?
- shane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+290.5 wpm, two mistakes.
- Blade1384, on 10/12/2007, -0/+291.3 wpm
3 errors.
First Try - kevyn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+225 WPM with 6 errors... why is everyone getting dugg down?
- funkygmt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2123 wpm..
But it's a little bit hard since I mostly don't type in english..The characters sequence is not the same than in french..! :-) - Nok1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1copy and pasting.
unoriginal.
JS > you - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wrong. Many descriptivists (i.e. people who describe how language is used in practice) support the notion that a _single space_ after a period should be considered standard because it has been the norm in mainstream publishing for many decades. This also includes the MLA, APA, and the CMS.
- ElGuano, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1115.-something, no idea how many cpm. If you hit enter or space after the last character too quickly (like I did 3x in a row) the dialogue box goes away. At least in Vista it fades slowly enough to read some of it.
