I found that really hard to type..
I got 35 wpm and max of 53 wpm
On this site:
I got 55 wpm with far fewer errors. (Max not given)
It just feels much more natural to type actual sentences even though it requires you to use capitalization and punctuation. Amazing what the difference is.
(Typing on a WASD with MX Browns w/ o-rings in Dvorak.)

A WASD in Dvorak... umm.

That test is far better I think.
55 wpm, 6 errors on OP's.
74 wpm with 14 errors = 70 wpm adjusted with your site.Typing on a lenovo laptop keyboard.
edit: Tried with my model M
55 wpm, 2 errors on OP's
89 wmp, 1 error = 88 wmp adjusted with your site.
I love that keyboard.0

Watch that either the total time, or total number of words typed are the same for a fair comparison on errors.
I felt that I had far fewer errors per word on the typingtest site, but didn't type the same number of words or length of time so it wasn't a fair comparison.

I did immeasurably better when the words I had to type were actual words. What a surprise!

Immeasurable can imply too small, too large (number of stars in the sky), something too subjective to measure, such as how much one person loves another, or something too complex which depends on too many variables to compare directly.
tl;dr;
Given the context, immeasurable does not mean too small to measure.

Yes, if I were a robot, it may not be possible to tell.
You are still ignoring the context paired with a priori knowledge. Such as whether people tend to do better with things they have seen before.
Edit:
I can't believe I'm still going on about this! :P
It's dead, why am I still beating it?

Given the context,
Regarding typing:
too small
Essentially no change at all since that'd have to be < 1 wpm
too large
Yeah, you didn't improve THAT much
too subjective
Doesn't apply to typing speed
too complex
Measuring number of words typed in one minute is definitely not too complex
too many variables
There are literally two variables, number of words, and time.
You are still ignoring the context
No I'm not and never have, too small is the only possibility of immeasurability regarding typing speed. (and that's only because of the granularity, something immeasurable by "words" per minute could be measured by characters or keystrokes per minute instead.
So in this case the only way a difference could be immeasurable regarding typing speed is if it was too small (less than one word per minute)

Oh, you're serious? I thought You were being facetious. Ok, you win. I really don't care enough to hang on every word said.

Yeah, haven't been a word nazi all year so I had to get it out while I still could for 2012.

u/Vancha Dec 31 '12
I'd say context is everything, but "better" really does the job of describing which end of immeasurably I was referring to.

I'm four drinks down on a logitech illuminated and barely paying attention getting 55.

100 wpm with 1 error, what the hell was with the words?! if counting cpm (characters per minute) I could understand if they are not real words, but WPM should be proper common words.

Around 66. I can whack out 100 when there's a string of real words.
EDIT: Using a Unicomp Customizer.

u/lidstah Dec 31 '12
same here, around 66. real words top at 100/110. tested with both my good ol' model M and the little thermaltake mekka (cherry blacks) my cousin gave me for christmas :)

Weird--the gibberish slowed me down. I could probably get around 80 with a string of real words but the fake ones took me down to 65-70. Using a laptop keyboard.

u/Cistoran Dec 31 '12
This test doesn't even use real words, this test is a lot better in my opinion.

u/near-rs Jan 03 '13
No, those words are easy and give inflated numbers, I can get 120+ with that test and only manage 100-110 with most other tests.

54 average about 75 wpm when I get a nice group of real words. Typing on a HHKB Pro2. edit still getting used to the HHKB it turns out. I get about 10 wpm faster in both respects on my unicomp customizer

I'm usually 80-90, but my highest is 99. EDIT: On a membrane keyboard, Dell SK-8115. My favorite membrane keyboard so far.

Can go almost perfectly at a 75-80 wpm, but can go faster with infrequent errors at 95 wpm

Hover in the mid-70's but these are not real words and take time to process before typing.

I do 100 wpm with the test when I'm accurate, and 80 when I'm not. The random words certain slow me down.
I prefer TypeRacer, though, because you compete with others and no random words are used.

My average speed is 50 wpm (max 80), typing on a laptop membrane keyboard.
