The Fingerjig Typing game: http://www.jonmiles.co.uk/fingerjig.php. A useful distraction (hihihi, a distraction IS a distraction, stating it as ‘useful’ does not mean that you are less guilty letting you get distracted by it ) to check your typing speed, and perhaps somehow improved it. It took about six minutes to complete the whole test.

On the first try, my score is not bad, about 1.5 times better than the average test takers. The second one only yields 8 thousands points more, guess this is my average point then. Several lessons learned:

Letter ‘b’ is typed using the left hand .
My left fingers are slightly faster than the right ones. (42 vs 39 wpm).
I have to put more believes in my fingers! Even though my fingers are placed correctly on the keyboard, at least for the first few strokes (just 2 or 3 strokes), I have to let my eyes confirm that indeed I will start at the right place. Afterward, it is all automatically handled by the fingers. If I really want to improve my typing speed, I guess I will have to start really believing my fingers then .
I type faster when I know exactly the spelling of the words. Looking at the letters one by one and then press the corresponding keys is way too slow.
