Nursely Peoples! Please help me with a stats project by answering a few simple Qs

[Mesomorph]

MORE PEOPLE THAT POST THE BETTER!

I need statistical data for a project I'm doing on touch-typing, and input from as many people as possible on here could really help me out.

You would greatly help me by answering the following:

1) Do you have the ability to touch type? (Type accurately without looking at your fingers on the keyboard)

2) If not, how do you type?

- How many fingers

- Weird tricks you use, etc.

3) Would you say that you are happy with your typing speed? If not, why?

4) Please post your average words per minute (WPM), or, if you don't know it, please take this quick test. Simply click "> Start Typing Test" then click the "Begin >" button after the applet loads. Afterward, post your NET score (not your gross score).

Thank you Thank you! :)

1/2. I know where the keys are, but I get off by one sometimes, so I tend to glance down.

3. No, b/c my accuracy does slip if I don't look or if I have to read something else.

4. 45 on their test, while reading off the screen. I had to slow down for accuracy.

Hi

Yes, I touch type. My speed is about 50 words per minute and I'm perfectly happy with that. Good luck and you're welcome.

3. Yes

1. I usually do not look at the keyboard...Make a few mistakes here and there...I always review my charting before accepting.

2. I worked in administration/office for a long time prior to nursing...So, I use all of my fingers.

3. I type pretty fast. Usually people laugh at me because I type so fast that everyone can here me...Pounding on the keys.

4. 100 WPM
