I could only get 88/160 with two fingers, but by sliding my finger back and forth I got 138/160 on my first attempt. Interesting how much of a difference it makes.
OK, I have tried this quiz so many times and I can only get 132 (which is still level 3). I've tried multiple keyboards too. I guess I just don't have the brain/finger connection to work it. Can someone tell me the best way to get a 4 or 5 on this quiz...or give me a good cheat?
wow you came up with something even less intellectual than the average speed-typing tests.
I'm not going to take this, but, my fingers are quite "twitchy" or at least used to be. I remember playing this stupid online game Dance Dance Karnak way back where you were awarded points for how many times you could press the arrow keys before the next one passed by... the game would repeatedly accuse me of cheating as apparently I was approaching the speeds you'd get just by holding down the key.
Although I did it and got better result than 67% of the others, I really don't like these. This is not a "quiz" at all but just some kind of a speed test.
Sorry guys for being a wiseass, but for me a quiz is something that requires knowledge (and memory).
Hi Jerry! I love your quizzes, including this one, but I have a critique that is worth considering. I don't think 10% of quiz takers should be getting the maximum possible score. Measuring everyone's fast-twitch typing ability creates a bell curve, and by capping the scores at a number that's easily attainable for some portion of quiz takers, you're essentially chopping off the right tail. I think the number of G's and H's should max out at 400 or 500 so that it's literally impossible to get a perfect score. That way, we can get a complete bell curve that distinguishes the top scores from each other so it isn't a hundred-way tie.
OK Elan, here's your version idea - let's see how the bell curve emerges! I suspect it'll become more like a Poisson distribution curve, with asymmetric tails, but let's see!
I was trying to figure out why I was able to easily get 160 on this quiz with several seconds left, considering I'm no spring chicken, and I don't even play fast-twitch type video games. But it occurred to me that keyboard quality probably matters... and I typically use a pretty nice, kinda expensive mechanical-switch keyboard. I tried again with a regular cheap membrane desktop keyboard and also on a laptop's internal keyboard, and I even waited a while between attempts to make sure my fingers weren't fatigued, and it was definitely more difficult on an inferior keyboard.
We've switched the Mobile Design mode from Default to Scroll - please let us know whether that makes any difference. We like all our quizzes to work on mobiles just as well as on laptops!
like 100% serious
(i put my knuckle on my key and rubbed it really fast lmao... so i cheated)

Great quiz! (not really a quiz)
So really, then, @Youregoodatthis.
