BluesChick 1,260 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 wow, I did not expect 25 pages of post about typing! LOL I type about 80 words a minute according to the test but in all fairness this is the first time I have sat down at a computer in a month! I have used my iPad but that doesn't count as real typing since it more like texting. I found the test to be hard for me because I don't usually type what I am reading on the computer screen. I can type from a hard copy sitting next to me with out looking at the screen with a fair amount of accuracy but it threw me off to look at the screen and type below it and not be able to see the whole "sentence". I also have to say I would have done better if it wasn't just gibberish. Actual sentences would have been easier because some of those words just didn't flow well together and it threw off the rhythm! I know... excuses, excuses but at least I didn't say I was old! How many of you type with out looking at the keys? How many have your hands in the "proper" positions? I am just curious because my husband and father both type with about 6 fingers and not their whole hands. My husband is very quick at typing but I have never understood how. I took typing in high school (no not keyboarding) back when there wasn't even a correction ribbon on the darn thing. The keys actually took effort to push and they covered the keys on us!

I also agree that if it was proper sentences it would also be a bit easier rather than "sound school get me me we sound and and we don't" bla bla bla gibberish.

termninja 5,290 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Typing and looking at keyboard is impossible for anything above 60-70...takes more effort too.Those of you who must look...try not to do it and force yourself to keep your eyes on the monitor.

BluesChick 1,260 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I only look at the key board once to make sure my hands are in the right position. Once I know they are then I can type freely without looking down again. I guess I should thank Mr. Ruiz for driving me crazy all those years ago! I hated typing class but since it was that or a home economics class (cooking and sewing!), I chose typing since I thought it would be the most helpful for college. I have gotten very lazy about typing now that I don't have to worry about correcting mistakes as soon as I make them! I do most of the time but the advent of spell check and grammar check have lessened the need to make sure a line is perfect before going to the next.
