Hey, not bad…least I know that there’s someone who types about the same speed as I do!

Using the same test settings as you did (3 min, wizard of oz, wpm), I got:

Net Speed: 86 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 96%
Gross Speed: 89 WPM
(words/minute)

Nice! That’s amazing that you can type that fast, thanks for the encouragement though and I’ve been to ChrisBlogging before, but never seriously considered freelance writing. Perhaps I’ll give it a go.

Thanks for participating in this fun little spur-of-the-moment challenge.

I laugh at your puny score, mere mortal! BEHOLD my 138 and quiver with ENVY!!!

Seriously, though … 80+ puts you in a great spot to be a freelance writer. Being able to hammer out that much text consistently will allow you to pound through about 5,000 words each day in no time at all, which is often enough to justify quitting your day job to focus on self-employment.

There is only one other person that I’ve ever seen type 90+, so you’re high score is safe

If you’re interested in giving freelancing a go, check out ChrisBlogging.

That’s pretty fast though.
