A typing speed test measures how fast and accurately you can type. Your speed is measured in WPM (words per minute), where a 'word' is defined as 5 characters. Accuracy measures the percentage of characters typed correctly. Average typing speed is 40 WPM, while professional typists often reach 80-100 WPM or more.
