Practice is the key factor in becoming a professional typist, or a typist of any appreciable skill. The desired accuracy for professional typing positions is around 97% or higher. The average accuracy for a typist is around 92%, meaning they make 8 mistakes for every 100 words typed. You can take a typing test online at any time to test your skills and find out if you are faster than the average typist. This seems a little odd, because statistics show that girls actually enjoy practicing their typing skills more than boys do.

This is slightly faster than for girls, who clock in at 37 wpm, a full 7 word per minute slower. The average typing speed for boys is 44 words per minute.

The average wpm speed is only 41.4 words in one minute. Currently, the fastest English language typist is Barbara Blackburn, who reached a peak typing speed of 212 wpm during a test in 2005, using a Dvorak simplified keyboard. The highest typing speed ever recorded was 216 words per minute (wpm), set by Stella Pajunas in 1946, using an IBM electric typewriter. What is the average typing speed on the keyboard?
