You Want To Work At Home, How Fast Can You Type?

Most typing jobs where you telecommute require a great deal of typing at sustained speeds and often require you to test. Your ability to quickly and accurately complete the work required is of utmost importance. A fast search of the net brought up the sites below that offer quickie typing tests (there is no endorsement of any typing test site below for any reason other than they offer a typing test). Read my previous article http://livethoughtfully.blogspot.com/2007/05/taking-online-typing-test-for-work-at.html for more information. If you want to search for more sites that offer typing tests, just Google the words, typing test. Make sure your keyboard is on a solid surface. (Note that long fingernails often slow down speed and accuracy, so a manicure might be in order before taking one.) It is likely that you will find that your speed varies with the different sites. If you really want to make it more precise, get someone to help you with a stopwatch and compare the results.
