of course my actual typing speed in practice is like an order of magnitude below that because I usually don't know exactly what I want to type without thinking about it, reconsidering how best to word it, and revising it a couple times

I don't really like this test because you have to start and stop the clock yourself and it only judges based on a passage you have to read, not judging as you type

just tried this one:

I like using a real passage; it feels much more natural to type real sentences (with punctuation too) instead of random short words. Like it says, what it actually counts is number of characters typed divided by 5 instead of relying on the length of the words you actually get. Some judging while you type might be nice, like live fields at the corner for current wpm, but I don't like how that one you linked empties the text box on every whitespace and scrolls the source text; that's distracting to me.

(http://10fastfingers.com/speedtests/generate_screenshot_result/82_408_0_0_76_0_92.84_7536_105209)

Also this one seems less reliable to me: I retried it a few times after that one and got 72 with one mistake, 65, and 86 with one mistake. With the other one, I also retried a couple times and got results within like 2wpm. I would've gotten even lower results on this one if I continued instead of retrying those couple of times I made an error (mostly reading the wrong word) in the first few seconds.
