Do you think you are a good typer? An average touch typer can type at around 60 WPM (word per minute). Find out how fast you are.

WPM means Words Per Minute. It is a measure of the output speed on a keyboard. Here's how it works:

• start a timer and start typing for exactly 1 minute
• count how many characters you just typed including spaces and punctuation
• divide that value by 5 (the WPM system considers a word is 5 keystrokes)
• the result is your Words Per Minute speed

For example, if I've typed the text "Hello world. It is a nice day." and it took me 1 minute to enter that text. Here's how I get my WPM speed:

• "Hello world. It is a nice day." has 30 characters
• in terms of WPM words that's 30 / 5 = 6 words (because with WPM a word is 5 keystrokes)
• so my speed is 6 WPM

If it took me 30 seconds to type that text, then my speed would be: 6 * 60 / 30 = 12 WPM
