According to that website, the 10fastfingers one, I got about 85, but I normally type faster. I don't like how that evaluates you becuase it makes you use words that don't necessarily fit together, and when I'm just typing nonsense I tend to be a lot slower because I don't know what comes next and my fingers/muscle memory isn't quite used to just pumping out random words. It's hard to type, at least for me, nonsense :p

I noticed that I type a lot faster when typing something like this for example than I do when I'm typing that. I know this is a bad excuse because everyone is hindered by the same thing, I guess I'm just sour that there actually are people out there who type faster than me and I thought of myself as a really fast typist xD

Hang on, lemme try again and see if I can pull through over 100WPM (my overall goal)
Look at the screen when you type. That's how you're supposed to keyboard. =_=

If you were looking at the screen while you typed, then how did you not know which word came next? You just contradicted yourself.

It's not that I didn't know what words came next, it's just that they don't make any sort of logical sense. When typing, my brain puts together either what I want to say, or what I have to copy down in an order. How do I explain this...

Basically... It just makes more sense to me when the things I'm typing have an actual point to them. If I'm just typing things like random words put together it doesn't make as much sense, but if I'm typing something like an informational paragraph, or copying a sentence, the brain looks ahead and makes more sense of what is there, making it easier to type at a more efficient rate.

I don't even know if that makes sense, it did in my head ;-;

I know what you're trying to say. I average around 111~ wpm, I could probably get around 125 or maybe more if 10fastfingers wasn't just a random string of unconnected words :/

I only got 84. It's impressive to see people got in the 300 range!
