Words per Minute

At work we are currently hiring and had reviewed a few resumes where the candidates indicated how many "WPM" they can type. 45. 50. 65. Rookies!!!. J/k, these are really good.

So, being wierd that I am, I looked on GOOGLE to see if there was a site that could evaluate (to a certain degree) how fast I could type. So the first site that came up was: http://www.programmingart.com/free/utilities/.

It's a simple little test and it also tracks accuracy and analyzes each finger. I found my right pinky is useless. It's a cool, simple test. According to that site, I type avg. 60 wpm, at about 95.5% accuracy.

The my right pinky is what caused me the .5% and will be resigned to be the official nose-picker.
Just kidding, I pick my nose with my thumb.

Just kidding again. I have no comment.

I typed this blog entry at about 50 wpm at 90% accuracy. The 10% because I had to sneeze and it threw off my hand placement.

Hey Win, Thanks for the typing-speed link! I've been wondering where I can go to figure out my typing speed. Mine is 90 wpm with 98% accuracy. Whoo-hoo! =)

I saw you pick your nose the other day. =) You know, just cuz you're in your car, doesn't mean the rest of the world can't see you. And how DO you get your thumb into your nose... amazing!!
