1. You freak!

Kidding, I can't even open the page to see your results. I type 30-ish on Mac keyboards, maybe 40 on generic PC keypads. My mother used to hit around 100 on the old Selectric. I'd like to learn the Dvorak layout or whatever the name is, if I only had the time.

2. 34 wpm the first time, 38 the second time.
I can go well above 60 wpm when I don't have to look at something on the screen and retype it, like all those typing tests do. if it comes from my brain, I type the fastest.

6. 81 wpm
I consistently get between 80 and 85 wpm on typing tests, with 0 errors.

I think I've hit my peak in terms of standard (non-Dvorak) keyboards.

11. On my typing test for a job 20 years ago it was 90 wpm.
It's probably still close to that.
