![]() ![]() ![]() My high school classmate Jordan Nott was using the Facebook Typing Speed application (which now appears to be defunct) and it appeared in one of his status updates. I discovered competitive typing by accident in the spring of 2008 while in grad school. I spent no time actually studying the mechanics of typing and I don't entirely remember what I did to improve since it was not one of my focuses. My father installed a typing application on his computer when I was a teenager and by that point I was somewhat frequently exceeding the 199 wpm that was the maximum score that program would display. In my teen years, I promptly forgot about typing applications, but continued to improve. ![]() The faculty occasionally had me type things for them, most notably a poetry book featuring poems from all the second-grade students. I attained a high speed of 83 wpm (415 cpm) at age six and 108 wpm (540 cpm) at age ten, which was faster than any of the other students or teachers at Smith Road Elementary. I taught myself to touch-type when I was about three years old on the old DOS program CPT Personal Touch-Typing. Since I am asked the same questions so frequently by various other typists, I figured I would provide substantive detail on my typing history here. I am primarily famous online for my typing prowess. ![]()
