How This Test Works
What It Measures
This test measures your typing speed in words per minute (WPM) and accuracy. You type passages drawn from 12 categories including prose, code, and technical documentation, providing a comprehensive assessment of keyboard fluency.
How Scoring Works
Your score is gross WPM adjusted for accuracy (net WPM = gross WPM × accuracy %). Accuracy tracks correct versus incorrect keystrokes. Results are compared against profession-based benchmarks.
What Affects Your Results
Keyboard type (mechanical vs membrane), finger placement technique (touch typing vs hunt-and-peck), fatigue level, and practice frequency all significantly affect your typing speed and accuracy.
