Help Wanted – Blogger: Can You Type?

2007 March 8

One of our star bloggers was asking me about putting his typing speed on his resume.  As is the case with all of our bloggers, they seem to have a better handle on the social media than most, so he not only made it part of his resume, he decided to show the typing test in real time on You Tube!  This is the look of a true professional blogger at work.

Crazy as that seems, once you start multi-tasking and putting in time with IM, Skype, email, blogging, and the rest of the social media, it doesn’t seem like we can type fast enough.

I still can’t decide if it makes me incredibly cool for being able to type fast, or incredibly sad. I guess time will tell right?

Here are the numbers on that run of the test:

117.6 words per minute
97% Accuracy

I ran it again later and got 128 words per minute and 98% accuracy with different words!

Man, I am a dork.
