Test Your Typing Speed
I find one of the frustrating things I go through blogging is the speed and accuracy of my typing. I know that if I could type faster and with more accuracy I could be much more efficient with my daily posting. More speed equals more content, and more content equals better blogs, better traffic, better readership, and of course better income.
So……I did a quick Google inquiry and found an online test for typing speed. You can take the quick test if you like by going to www.typingtest.com. You can choose how many minutes you want the test to be (1-2-3), as well as what passage of text you would like to type (Strategic Alliances With Competitors, The Wonderful World Of Oz, Fishing In Finland, or Tigers In The Wild). You can also choose the speed unit for the test at WPM or CPM.
My test showed an abysmal 37 word per minute with 8 errors, resulting in a net words per minute (WPM) of 29. A great office worker I would not make. Update: Typing 80-85 words a minute now!
I think my typing speed test would be better if I was writing the words coming to my head as I typing now. I’m not a hunt, punch and erase writer, but I have serious problems with my methods. I cross my write hand over to my left hands business a lot, and this slows me down considerably.
I took typing in highschool, but unfortunately I was a slacker. If had known that one day my income would rely on my ability to type content into a blogging platform, I might have tried alot harder. After taking this typing test, I will be putting some more effort into increasing my speed and accuracy. I would have to work half as long each day if I could get a better grasp of my laptop keyboard.
