What is the average typing speed?

Answer 1

Average speed for anybody is just under 40 wpm, and (well-to-do) 6th graders would most likely have a similar, but slightly slower average. However, speeds would vary greatly.

Answer 2

The average typing speed is 38-40 words per minute (wpm) for adults in a professional working environment (despite many incorrect reports on the web that it is 50-60 wpm).

Some administrative assistants can type 70-80 wpm or more. Optimal typing speeds for professional secretaries and data entry personnel are 90-120 wpm (110 wpm or more is quite rare).

Some data entry jobs require a minimum of 8,000 keystrokes per hour (kph). (A keystroke is an individual letter, number, space or other character.) Average data entry personnel can type 10,000 to 12,000 kph or more. Some data entry personnel can type 15,000 to 20,000 kph (although this is rare).

Typing speed improves with practice. If you would like to improve your typing speed, trying taking passages from a magazine or book you enjoy and type them. As you type for longer periods (15 minutes or more), you will reach a rhythm and will often begin to type faster. Check your work for typos. If you make consistent spelling errors, practice typing the word correctly 50-100 times. This will help reset your brain to type it correctly in the future. This is important since nearly all typing tests take accurate spelling into account.
