Not sure if a topic like this existed before or not. A fun exercise.
I'm pretty sure I breached 150 WPM once, so I'm trying to go for that.

 

[GhostWolf]

Yes, there was such a thread.

 

[gorillabull]

these things are pointless everyone cheats on them lol

I recommend http://play.typeracer.com/

Typing paragraphs is much more natural (and indicative) than series of random words

Your speed:	12 wpm

Accuracy:	89.5%

Pervs like it slow, doing it too fast lessens the sensation.

How you get your time and stuff?

 

[chobibo]

Use the one on cokemonkey11's link. Oh, and take it slow, make time for the sensation mah friend... nyehehehe

Your speed:
62 wpm
Time:

Accuracy:
91.5%

Wow, not bad

 

[chobibo]

Quite fast there man, Am I the only slowpoke T_T...

 

[Deleted member 219079]

It also depends on what kind of keyboard you use, not solely abilities

 

[PurgeandFire]

142 is really good. On average, I usually end up around 125.

Typeracer is actually quite fun if you're fast enough. I think the average is more indicative, but the highest scores usually vary or are far above your actual skill. I've gotten above 150 on typeracer because of some easy runs, but I am in no way a 150 WPM typer.

 

[chobibo]

You guys sure type really fast. Must be because I'm not typing properly (the hand and finger positioning and stuff lol). The fastest I got was 32 and I was dead serious when typing...

 

[Deleted member 219079]

I'm just a huge nerd xD nothing else

 

[GreeN!X]

Visit the Typing Test and try!

 

[chobibo]

Cool, has your hand healed now dude?

 

[GreeN!X]

Left hand.

But yeah, my right has healed up to the point where ist can move.

 

[Deolrin]

This is the best I've managed so far on TypeRacer. I'm not sure if I'm just not in the 'mood', or if this is actually harder than the random words. D:

Oh wow, that's quite good man

 

[Dr Super Good]

It is pretty much impossible to exceed 200 average random words per minute due to the limitations of human input precision (bits per input and degrees of input). The fastest rates can only be obtained with specially designed keyboards which optimize input performance.

Obviously this metric varies between people. Someone might be able to exceed 200 words per minute but that will probably come down to his physiology more than any "skill".

With dynamic input methods such as predictive typing with correction it may easily be possible to exceed 255 words per minute. This is because you can use probability to compress input such that fewer keys are needed on average to obtain required words. May be a pain to learn but the entire WPM problem comes down to converting the limited capacity input data stream into words using as few bits as possible.

 

[Chaosy]

only 60 words per minute

 

[Deleted member 219079]

I got 69 :3

[Deleted member 219079]

Oh wow mag, you've been practicing for quite a while

 

[Deleted member 219079]

I got 69 :3

And the progress in 2.5 years:

I've got a bit over 100 on my old rubber dome keyboard. Now I have cherry mx red switches which, while pleasant while coding, aren't as nice when you'd have to aim at high speeds.
