wpm 56
The speed of my hands, as far as typing goes, is currently a personal best 56wpm. It makes sense because I am a couple months away from being at the average male's physical peak, 25, so they say.
Do you remember in highschool or middle school taking those typing classes with the little cardboard box covers where you weren't supposed to be able to see the keyboards. Well, I know I could see my keyboard if I leaned back and low enough. I also noticed that several other students "cheated" in the same way. Our teacher, whose name I don't remember, but I commend for her ingenuity, decided to buy 30 pairs of XXL boxer shorts to remedy the problem. We would stretch the elastic waistbands over the keyboard and stick our hands into the leg holes. Kind of wierd, yes, but quite effective. It was kind of rediculous but great to stand up in the room and see all these students focused on computer screens, arms hidden inside large flannel boxers.
What are your words per minute? Take this little test to find out. Make sure to let me know how fast your hands are.
