Weird, right? I might be young, but 10 WPM is still a lot.Įver since then I've been trying to find ways out of typing blocks. I had increased by about 10 WPM, in the week that I had literally done nothing. One time, a typing block had lasted so long that I pretty much quit typing for a solid week in my annoyance.Įventually, though, I decided to come back after that typing block, and the results were scary. Sometimes, I get in these stages where I can't type any faster, which I like to call 'typing blocks' (is that an actual term?), and it's certainly very frustrating. At this point it is about self gratification, and nothing more. And that is probably faster than 75-80% of all typists in the world, so I would not worry about it that much. Secondly, if you are typing 60wpm, that is faster than ~57% of the typists on keyhero that have typed at least 100 tests. I am sure that if you continue, you will be breaking through the 80wpm barrier soon and then probably into the 100s some in the next month or so, just like I am now.įinally, it is not how fast you type, it is how well you compose what you are saying. Over the course of about 7 weeks, I have typed somewhere around 1100 tests and I think that my score has increased by about 10-20%, which is quite a bit really. Now after about a month of practice, I can type in the 100s on the right tests, but for the most part, I am somewhere between 65 - 85 depending on the complexity.īased on what I know about you from what you stated above, I don't think that you and I are that different from one another, however, I am just a little further down the track.

When I started doing the keyhero, I think that my scores reflected that. Since I have transitioned to a desk job where I only type about 1000 words per day, I would say that my typing speed has slowed to around 55-60 wpm.

When I was in college and typing real papers and notes and things like that that really required a lot of typing per day I was a very fast typist (probably 110 wpm).
