How fast can you type? Check it here and compare!

It said I got 67 wpm but I think it's a flawed test. Those aren't actual sentences and it effects how some people will interpret the data. Their website didn't have an explanation for that. The coloration and moving lines also changes results.
I'm not trying to say I'd be faster, just that the test is a really screwy way to do things. It's more like practicing to copy random words from a teleprompter...
So, I don't know how you got such a high number!

The reason it isn't actual sentences is because it's trying to figure out how fast you type, not how well you know how to type specific sentences. It's pretty standard really.
As far as the colors, I don't see a problem with that. If it's red, you got the word wrong. You can backspace and fix it, it just costs you in WPM, etc. So... it just depends on what you want to do. Anyway ,I thought it interesting and fun to do. =)

It is interesting and fun, it just doesn't work ideally for my brain. :P
Typing speed can be effected by language: content anticipation, quicker word comprehension, and other such things. For me, I think the worst part was the line moving up on its own.
I'd say this test measures typing speed under very specific circumstances. Perhaps, it measures what they determine to be proper typing and any other techniques/styles make this more difficult than "typing" in a functional setting.

Mine result was at my first attempt i.e 42 words per minute with 100% accuracy
But I know I need to improve more, so I am practicing at wpmtest.org
