I got 50wpm, but I can type much faster if I'm writing things from my own head, rather than copying stuff someone else has provided.

I personally like TypeRacer. You get to practice your typing and you get to race against other people. Plus, there's no need to start and stop the clock. That might add a couple WPM to fast typists.

69 wpm with this typing test. Though i didn't like this, because it does not start and stop the clock itself.

100wpm with 1 mistake.

Edit: Could feel the stress in my hands towards the end, could not keep that rate up for long.

104wpm and then 96wpm

This is considerably higher than I usually score (which is why I took it twice), especially considering I was on a laptop keyboard. This leads me to question the accuracy of this test.

I find myself "allowing" typos for spellcheck lowering my WPM considerably from several years ago when I had to remember and not "offload" to spellcheck "easy" errors of words. 45 WPM (ugggg) vs 90%+ several years ago. Spell check is the bane of some quality writing :)

80wpm with 1 mistake and 82wpm with 0 mistakes, which is about right.

95 wpm with no mistakes. This is 20-30 wpm lower than I usually score, probably because I found the text stilted and difficult to type. I'm also a bit faster when I can use vim's ctrl-w (erase most-recently-typed word) to correct mistakes rather using only the delete key.

I use ctrl+backspace to delete last word in any/most editors.

Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't seem to work in OS X's TextEdit application or in Chrome textareas.
