It’s Not the Speed That Matters…

…it’s the accuracy.
I just found and took a typing test online. A few seconds into the test, another bailiff and the judicial secretary walked in and carried on a noisy conversation with my bailiff. It was distracting, to say the least, but here are my results after a 1-minute test.
Test Name: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Gross Speed: 102 WPM
Errors: 6 Words
Net Speed: 96 WPM
Accuracy: 94%
The judicial secretary pointed her finger at me and said, “You’re NOT supposed to type faster than me! That’s my job security!”
“It’s okay,” I said, “Nobody knows.” Heh heh.
Test Name: The Wonderful Wizard of OZ
Test Time: 01:00

Errors: 5
Accuracy: 94%
NET SPEED: 91 WPM
this test hurt my finger. =P
what i generally have found about typing tests are that they are not very accurate. I can’t type as fast when i am trying to copy something as opposed to if i was just typing something that i wanted to type myself. i can also type faster when being dictated to instead of trying to read what i’m supposed to type. i think it’s because i like to cheat and look at the keys to make sure that they are all still there. it’s a bad habit, but that’s the way that i learned to type.
You did that with an injured finger? Whoa…
I like how you typed 91wpm with an injured finger and still felt the need to justify the score, as tho it were 15 wpm or something. =)
