Admittedly, I'm no typing specialist, but this is better than when I was in high school.

I took the test and I don't wanna post my scores (they are quite low) LOL
I am a fast typer, but I don't think anyone should be judged on their WPM. The faster you type, the more mistakes you make, and when you are on the job, there is no room for mistakes. Remember on that old sitcom "Major Dad", there was Sgt. Gunny Bricker who could type like you wouldn't believe. In reality though, how many typing mistakes do you think she had? I can almost guarantee there was atleast 1 LOL

I am guessing I may have done better if I used a regular keyboard rather than a laptop keyboard. ??? Maybe, huh?!

The first time I was too distracted, so I tried again. I believe these are more accurate to my true typing skills. It's my job, ya know, lol ;D But, I pale next to Dominic - geez!!

hehe, well, believe me, I'd much rather go back to my teenaged days... back when I didn't have to think about paying bills - Yuck! So, now I pay bills with my mediocre typing skills - but just think when you get older and have to type for a job, you'll kick some major arse!! ;D Keep it up!!
