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 Division of Personnelâs Typing Speed and Accuracy Test is a five-minute timed test. The minimum passing score is 35 net words per minute, with 80% accuracy. NOTE: The same typing test is used for the clerical titles listed above and for data entry positions. To receive scores on all of the above-listed positions and/or data entry jobs, applicants need only take the typing test one time.
