No idea. Was 40 + wpm when tested about 6 years ago. I'm not sure whether years of being a public servant has dumbed me down or sharpened my senses. ;) And there's no point looking around to gauge your progress against others. :D

Danni knows what I mean. ;)

Haven't done any speed tests in a couple years, but probably 55-60 wpm if I'm just typing off the top of my head. A bit faster if typing from text. My reasoning being that I don't have to think about what I'm typing about, and all my brainpower can be used to coordinate what the fingers are doing! :D

I almost touch type. There's 3-4 letters that I probably use the wrong fingers for. don't have to look at the keyboard anymore though.

60 wpm when I'm typing text (probably a little faster now, I haven't checked in a while)
Probably about 80 wpm when typing from thoughts, although to be honest I don't really know.

I touch type. I taught myself that at the beginning of this year thinking it might help get a job. It didn't, but at least now I type properly.

Post your results ... mine for what it is worth is 65 wpm, with 93% accuracy ...
I did 56 with 100% accuracy, which suprised me cause I put 45-55. But I guess that 56 is not too far from 55:D

I went at 50 wpm at about 97%. This was on my crap laptop keyboard. Would be interesting on my PC one if I can get faster!
