Mine varies between 1 wpm to 50-60 wpm. Sometimes I type so fast that the computer can't keep up with me! Other times I mess up on every single letter and can't type at all! It depends on the day.

For a two fingered typer, I'm pretty quick. I'm around 60 words a minute

Very fast depending on which keyboard I'm on.

I used to take computer classes and it became an OCD to try and out type some of the students in my class.

I forgot about the wpm. So I don't know, I'm not really a pro.

In fact the reason I don't go into chat rooms is b/c I have to process my thoughts a little longer before I can respond. This would be unlike my counterparts that can respond without having to think so hard. I hate and envy them! :evil:

Well hate's such a strong word, isn't it.

Depends what I am writing. My left hand (non-dominant) is a better typer.

93 wmp to 127 wpm. Depends on the test I'm taking. I type consistently throughout; I think of what I have to say beforehand.

I don’t know, probably 60 words per minute. I never learned to type the official way. I hardly ever use my pinky fingers so I have to keep moving my hands left and right in order to reach all the keys. I only use my left pinky to get the shift key and the right one to hit enter. Still, I can go fast enough for me.

20-30 Words/minute or less if I'm trying to compose before I type.
