Idk exactly how the wpm calculation worked or if/how it accounted for errors. I just used those typing speed test websites, but I don't remember which. I know it would've been all lowercase, no numbers, and no punctuation, in a short, 30-60s burst. So I'm sure if you tested me under stricter conditions, my real speed would've been much lower.

And I used both my hands, so 4 fingers, making it less than 2 presses per finger per second which seems reasonable.

For my 95wpm, I tested my speed using the same conditions on monkeytype. But I did it again just now (30s, capitalization, punctuation, numbers) and got 73. I never bothered to learning numbers or symbols. Sorry, didn't mean to mislead lol.
