Posts: 2,631 Group: E Rank Legend Member #12,660 Joined: December 29, 2011 Gender: Male Country: United States of America Steam ID: mxnneurosis Game Currently Playing: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysey	Yeah, I'm just going to ask a random question because it does apply to me a lot. Who here can type without having to look at what they are typing? I don't have to look at the keyboard, which is good. It makes me faster at doing things like typing down posts for role plays or doing essays. I learned in sixth grade how to type perfectly.

"I didn't use the whole thing ...." Posts: 3,252 Group: =SB= Kings Member #9,868 Joined: March 28, 2009	I'm about half and half, I need to look at the keyboard to start the first word or two then I don't really need to do it for the rest of the paragraph.

Break out the L-word. The other L-word. Posts: 1,889 Group: S Rank Hero Member #11,873 Joined: February 24, 2011	I'm a pretty good typist, yeah. I don't really need to look at the keyboard at all, and I can type about 75 to 80 words per minute. That's fairly above average, so I've heard.

But yeah, I type faster than most of my friends.

I can also text without looking, which my family thinks is a feat worthy of a documentary because they always comment on my texting. S'my business. D:<

If I have ideas flowing, I can type pretty darn fast. But if it's for school? It may take me hours. A serious lack of ideas... Texting is different, however. I look at my keyboard. Otherwise, there are so many annoying typos...

You won't get much closer, 'till you sacrifice it all. Posts: 1,596 Group: S Rank Hero Member #9,544 Joined: December 10, 2008 Game Currently Playing: Playstation AllStars: Battle Royale	I can type pretty fast without looking. I guess it's natural, really, having owning some form of computer since I was 8. Plus my phone has a qwerty keyboard, I asked specifically for it. xP So yeah, I've been ruined by the internet~

Angel Island Act 2 Posts: 67 Group: D Rank Adventurer Member #13,225 Joined: August 28, 2012	I don't look at the keyboard. I might glance at it every once in a while but I don't really need to, and I can type in the dark or while talking to someone, which is always helpful. I don't do this "touch typing" thing they teach in classes--it's just that I got my first personal computer when I was seven, and I've been writing stories with a keyboard ever since. Makes me feel good, since I had folks tell me I couldn't be a good typist unless I went to school to learn touch typing. They were wrooong, bwahaha.

Anything over, which my highest was 104 from the last time I took a typing test, would just be advanced. Usually from 30 to 74 is average.

If I have ideas flowing, I can type pretty darn fast. But if it's for school? It may take me hours. A serious lack of ideas... Texting is different, however. I look at my keyboard. Otherwise, there are so many annoying typos... This, pretty much. xD Although, mostly, if I look to my keyboard it's right when I put my hands on it to make sure they're in the right place. I suppose those little bumps on 'F' and 'J' should give me a pretty good idea of whether or not I'm in the right spot, but I don't really think of those often right when I put my hands on the keyboard. And then there's this symbol: '. I can never seem to use my pinky for the ' symbol, for some reason. I need to force myself. Otherwise, I literally move my whole hand and use my pointing finger or ring finger. But, I type pretty fast, so this doesn't slow me down much. And then there's texting, or typing on phones in general. My focus is pretty much the keyboard. xD I occasionally fall into my habit of typing on the computer, in which I watch where the words are appearing, but if I make a typo I have to go back and fix it through focusing all of my attention on the keyboard itself. My average wpm is 67 presently, but when my typing quality was at its peak I had a wpm higher than 100.
