I have to say that I came it at 60 wpm on an agency test, and they said, in spite of the fact that I got high 90s on their MS Office tests and in spite of all of my other qualifications, I wasn't qualified to be an executive assistant, because I didn't type fast enough. Needless to say, I never called them back.



I spent many years doing data entry on a 10 key and my 10 key speed is 20,000 keystrokes an hour with 0 errors. Now, if I could just type that fast!  



I know that our senior word processors type well over 100 wpm, and I am totally in awe of them!
