I tried a variety of different passages and times, and pretty consistently got 68 WPM ± 1. I was at 100% accuracy for all of them except the "Tigers in the Wild" passage where I dropped down to 96%; the damn Harvard comma kept tripping me up.
(Normally my fingers are aware of when they make a mistake, even when my brain isn't consciously aware of it, and I backspace-and-correct without thinking about it. Unfortunately, this typing test automatically advances when you hit a space, and you can't backspace over the word break to go back and correct the prior word, so every time I hit the spacebar without inserting the Harvard comma (which I do not normally use), I would ineffectually backspace, then type a comma, then a space, which would take the place of the following word, and so all of a sudden I'd be two words out before my conscious brain had a chance to do anything about it. Grr.)
No, I'm not a touch typist. Nor do I particularly care to be. 65-70 WPM is plenty fast enough for me.
