What qualifies as a good typing speed depends on the population you're examining: the general population or professionals. The average person types between 38 and 40 words per minute -- between 190 and 200 characters per minute. However, professional typists type a lot faster on average -- upwards of 65 to 75 WPM. A good typing speed compared to the general population would be over 40 WPM, but compared to professionals it would be in the 75 WPM range.
The average typing speed is 38-40 words per minute (wpm) for adults in a professional working environment (despite many incorrect reports on the web that it is 50-60 wpm). <br /> <br /> Some administrative assistants can type 70-80 wpm or more. Optimal typing speeds for professional secretaries and data entry personnel are 90-120 wpm (110 wpm or more is quite rare). <br /> <br /> Some data entry jobs require a minimum of 8,000 keystrokes per hour (kph).
