Typing speed
Categories
Like Mitch, I also took the typing speed test:
Not bad, but not as fast as Mitch was though:
Although my accuracy was better than his. I think that, for your typing speed to be "official", you need to be able to sustain it at 98% accuracy for 3 minutes.
As a side note... I might have been slowed slightly by the fact that I was enjoying reading about population control as I typed. I actually learned a couple of things during the test that were interesting! 
Update:
I quick tweak to my technique seems to have pushed my speed over the elusive 120 wpm

I can't believe you spent three minutes typing random keys to get over 120wpm! Hilarious.

I spent 20 seconds of copy/pasting the same large chunks of random text, and then I waited for 2 minutes, 40 seconds :-)

Your accuracy was better than Mitch I think you win. Because accuracy points more not the number of words typed in less minutes.
If i typed 516 words in 3 minutes with the speed of 215 words/min. (879 keystrokes/min.) and Error penalty 80 so will i be announce a winner.
Thats why i say accuracy is everything.
