Did the typing thing the other day and got 105wpm or something but only 95% accuracy.

 

[Chromatose]

450-500 reading

75 words per minute at the moment. Though I'm on a laptop keyboard now which always gives me trouble, I usually test at 88 or so on a normal PC keyboard.

my average speed back when I took it in school was 140 WPM. I was actually a bit taken aback when I only got 98 WPM.

 

[Malergion]

I read around 600 with 99% fact retention and it's too slow for my tastes.

 

[zmetallica]

reading 300-350 (i have horrid comprehension sometimes, especially as fast as i read - overall I know I'm a slow reader so yeah...)

net: 47wpm gross: 50wpm 94% - I hate that they can't just let you type a story or something. I type much faster when I'm not reading something. and it comes from thought. (don't we all?)

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

I read and type at the speed of light.

 

[Malergion]

Must be why your comments are so sporadic. From a relativistic standpoint, it takes you forever to type anything.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

Glen, I've never shown you anything but respect and kindness and this is how you repay me? You bastard.

 

[Malergion]

Don't worry, this was only a friendly remark, akin to the Stormtrooper loading watermelons into the invisible hatchback.

All covered with blood.
I shot my poor teacher with a .44 slug.

Yeah you probably got such a slow typing rate because you're such a slow reader HAHA

Using three differing texts for each attempt. Meh, I suppose I just become increasingly inaccurate the harder I try.

I can't take those reading tests... I always get bored of the passages after the first line and skim the rest. Can't even force myself to read it, heh.
