I'm so slow, I can only do about 28 words per min. Once I learned how to type, it took me about 2 and a half years to get to that. What about the rest of you?

I got 94 on that test, but have been tested well over 100 many times before. This test messes with my head the way it highlights a word in red when you screw up. Also, it appears to penalize you more for hitting backspace once to correct a quick misspelling than it does if you just leave it incorrect.

I scored 52wpm, but I think there's a definite difference between my typing speed for re-typing a piece of text like that and me typing out a contuctor method for a java class...

I had about 53 WPM and 290 CPM. I type a self-learned half-blind way, and had to use the backspace sometimes. I could certainly be faster with some exercise.
