Hmm, interesting, seems to be this despite typing very little, comparatively, and literally never bothering to learn how to formally type (seem to have naturally adapted a hybrid style where I only use the first three digits, starting with the thumb, of my left hand and 2 on my right. This seemed to arise naturally from innate pattern recognition ability.
I wonder how I would perform at full power. 100wpm feels like it would be at full reach. I remember that a long time, like over a decade, I was trolling lesbian chatrooms and noticed a drastic and very rapid rise in my typing speed from that. Chatrooms/desktop IM are a great way to practice/become accustomed to rapid typing.
Actually, you may just be a surprisingly slow typer. Although, I did post some study results a while back demonstrating that the average typing speed of people, even those employed in occupations where there is a lot of typing involved, really aren't very fast at all.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2016-12-14 at 9:13 AM UTCI never really learned to type either, most my practice was from talking shit in 1.6 matches.
And yes, average typing speed is in the 30s. I'm probably slower than your average developer but obviously it's difficult to conjure figures there. And the up side I use god's own editor(vi) and better than most living humans so I'm going to claim I recoup my losses in any meaningful measure of edit speed.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2016-12-14 at 10:02 AM UTCThis would be a pretty easy one to 'shop' with any editor, and while I do enjoy editing photos I'm not so desperate as to fake a typing test result. Like Lanny mentioned this one was super basic with little to no punctuation and no numbers. I have never been able to type numbers quickly for some reason, I still have to look down to see what I'm pushing. Throw in some of that and I'm sure I'd drop significantly.

2016-12-15 at 12:38 AM UTCYeah that's why I made a video. If you are actually good at typing, nobody except other typing nerds believes you.
And yes that test is weird and not representative. Still fun though. Sometimes you can form the disjointed words into nonsense phrases. I mostly play Typeracer but hi-games.net is good for extended tests [you can edit the time value in the URL of the typing test to anything]. The perennial top result typingtest.com (probably) still shits itself if you go over around 120 WPM.
Nobody seems to require a decent typing speed for anything, even jobs that are made up entirely of typing. Whatever though, they wouldn't be able to find anyone if they got too crazy with the speed requirements. I've just never seen one that's the least bit ambitious.
You can do 100 WPM and a lot more if you try. I'm nowhere near the top, look at these people http://www.seanwrona.com/typeracer/leaders.php?sort=wpm_textbests&rank_start=1&rank_end=100
#1 is a cheater and I know #2 through 5 are legit. The bar is so so low under what plenty of people can do.
Nobody who knows anything about this would fake 102 WPM. :^)

2016-12-15 at 12:48 AM UTC155 is damn impressive. I don't even understand how that's physically possible. I felt like I was fucking typing faster than my mind could keep up with to get that 102. I'm gonna take it again and try to zone out on a focal point in the middle of the test and subconsciously channel my inner robot.

You need low doses of meth to reach your full potential. Meth makes you a better human being, it is good for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/DrugNerds/comments/59w1zg/longterm_treatment_with_low_doses_of/?st=iwpnuwid&sh=5ac22902The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I'd like to find a happy medium as I don't particularly enjoy the long-term effects of using meth and how I feel in general, sort of zombie like and out of it. I don't think I at this point have the ability to do low dosing as when I start to get fucked up I am no longer myself and tend to resort to using it more often than I need to.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

You're afraid of wind. -
2016-12-15 at 1:45 AM UTCWhat makes you say that? Although, windchill is a terrifying thing, but a light breeze can be very pleasant on a warm day in the wilderness.

depends on what specifically you're talking about - developers like Lanny for example don't really benefit from SANIC SPEEDS because you're not generally typing massive walls of text in one go; you'll be writing/rewriting/analysing on a line-by-line or even word-by-word basisThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
