Posts
Your speed was: 70wpm.good enough, I suppose.
Congratulations! You made no mistakes, practice does make perfect.
79wpm, no mistakes.
Please note I never bothered to learn how to type using the home row method and my fingers simply "hunt-and-peck".

I think this is pretty much what everyone does.

No, I have been distinctly been made fun of by several community members here who I have met in person!
It's not like I awkwardly look for any of the keys. My fingers know where to go!

Yeah, I think home row is more common with speedy typists. I will only make fun of you if you look at the keyboard and not the monitor while you type, which is extremely common with hunt-and-peckers.
I just got 68 wpm, no mistakes.
I can type what's in my head extremely fast, but when I have to read something and type it out, I tend to mess up.

It's funny how I did exactly what your avatar did after reading that (lol).
That's worse than my sister and she's a two finger typist. :P

83 two mistakes.
I type really fast though and psyche myself out and half to stop for 2 or 3 seconds and get back in the zone.

86wpm with 1 mistake. I'm actually pretty pleased with this, because I never bothered learning proper keyboarding technique but just do henpecking with my index fingers and thumbs. However, I think I'll bother with a basic keyboarding course before finishing grad school, only because some people feel it's unprofessional to type without using proper keyboarding.
