I'm not sure what my WPM is any longer.  I learned on an electric typewriter in high school.  Thank goodness - I think if I had to learn on one of the first typewriters my wrists would be completely shot by now.

Last time I tested I was just over 100 wpm with no errors. Once I get over 110 I start messing up.

I don't think I ever tested my speed before but I type pretty fast and I do make mistakes but quickly correct them. I some times don't use my fingers on the appropriate letter key but hey, I taught myself to type and most people are amazed at how fast I can go...lol

I got up to 80 wpm when I last took a class in it.

Now I only claim 50 wpm because I so seldom type anything of any great length.

I am amazed that anyone can type over 100 wpm. Steve Allen, the comedian (if any of you remember him), could type well over 100 wpm.

I get 60 to 80 wpm depending if I'm making a lot of mistakes or not or if I'm on a different computer than I normally use, stuff like that.

I took a typing test online the other day but only did 50 WPM error free due to the fact my keyboard is on top of a desk and it is too high for me to type really fast. I was taking the test for a potential online chat job list on Rat Race Rebellion. I didn't make the cut lol

It varies. But usually I average around 50 WPM. Most I ever got was 61, I think. Lowest would be 40 WPM. :)

I type around 60 wpm and that's because of my long nails. I wish I could type faster.

I think I am lucky if I can get 20 words by the minute. I had never taken any typing class growing up and I think that wasn't a bright decision on my part. I could have gotten a better job today. Even that person in court that types the proceedings could have been me.

60 wpm... Would be faster if I do two hands on keyboard, but I don't use that. I just use mostly my right hand to type out the keys and my left to do occasional keystrokes
