I hadn't seen this test before so I took it on a lark.

405 points, 11978th, 530 characters per minute, 101 correct words 2 wrong.

101 wpm.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that most professional developer types can probably do within some small percentage of these scores.

From wikipedia:"An average professional typist reaches 50 to 70wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 (usually the minimum required for dispatch positions and other typing jobs), and some advanced typists work at speeds above 120"
