Typing Meme

I realize this doesn’t count or really qualify as an update, but since I haven’t spammed this place with Memes of any sort, I figure posting one is forgivable. I’ll try to include some content as well so that this may seem more like a blog post.

Typing Test

When I first saw my results, I thought, “so what?”. After a quick search for “average typing speed”, I found an article on Wikipedia (surprise, surprise, just about everything is there!).

According to Wikipedia‘s “Words per minute” article, “An average professional typist reaches 50 to 70 wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 (usually the minimum required for dispatch positions and other typing jobs), and some advanced typists work at speeds above 120.” While I wouldn’t consider myself to be a professional typist, I’m actually pleased with my typing speed.

There is also a brief discussion on the speed in which most people read. I will confess that I’m a pretty slow reader. It could be connected to my ADHD and my OCD behaviours and the NEED to read every word… but on average I’m really not a fast reader. That being said, I should read more because I room to improve.

The Wiki article isn’t very long, so take a look at some of the interesting tidbits it has to offer. So how are your typing skills? Are you surprised, pleased, indifferent towards your results? Or are you so apathetic to a test like this that you just won’t bother?

I haven’t updated in over a month because life has been quite crazy. My husband and I were on a cruise at the beginning of March. We were attending the wedding of friends of ours and had a really great trip. I’ll provide a better update with some photos and details later.

Last Wednesday, I went to the first of two concerts with Britney Spears. More on that later, but overall it was a fun night and entertaining to boot.

Alright, I’m off for now. There are other things to get done and I should take care of them before the day is wasted away.
