I type at 52-60 wpm and I use a weird spider config with my hands that's a weird config between typing with two fingers and typing with all my fingers. I don't use my pinkies.

[Pmm368]

62 words per minute with all fingers.

[TheSunkistsoldier]

87 words per minute with just my two fingers

[alwmid]

I type the 'correct' way =) and got 109 words per minute. i haven't had girl scout cookies in years, but my favorites are those ones with the coconut and fudge stripe, no idea what they're called.

that swag that alex brought back looked awesome, looks like he had a great time! and now the chosen four are reunited, so that's always a great thing for the vlogging experience!

[Cryp12345]

the card is probably like 20Dollars +- somewere

[Cryp12345]

43 words and i type whit 2 fingers

[PhazonChaos]

I type with all of my fingers and I got 66 WPM with 0 words wrong. I may have been able to get slightly higher, but this is one of those keyboards where the enter key goes upwards instead of inwards, so it's slightly awkward to reach over to it with my pinky.

[TBustah]

Nothing for Taylor?

Anyway, I like Caramel Delights, Thin Mints, and Peanut Butter Patties.

I wanna try those new Lemonade ones Kris's mom told me about. She bought some, but ate them all.

[stephenvlog]

@TBustah Alex brought Taylor back posters and a shirt as well.

[billyjay]

57 words per minute. 1 wrong.

i dont use home row, but i also dont peck. I use a hybrid style.

[kalasad]

Oh shiz! If those aren't online anywhere, you should totally scan those posters and put the EB one on EBCentral.

76 & 84 wpm! Having random words instead of sentences was difficult, I kept using my left hand, especially my ring finger, oww.

[Vivi12000]

You type 250 characters per minute

You have 50 correct words and

you have 0 wrong words

I don't "peck" but that's with the 100% correct "stance",I took a typing class in middle school too but after all these years its kinda gotten away from me..

[xGman20x]

Hi it's George, got 30 wpm i use most fingers. I am in middle school so that probably is why i got low. My favorite cookie's are trefoils XD!

[giai0z]

90 WPM, and i did really badly, too...index finger typer here! I think on a good day, I'm almost around 120 WPM. I remember in third grade we took typing tests and I was always at the top, but I used my index fingers and the teachers would get so mad. I guess I really adapted well to typing like this, but I never thought about the whole job thing. I guess it does look really bad. I just get so confused when I try to type with all my fingers....I gotta learn ;^;

[LiamHoganProductions]

38 WPM... Darn, I need to practice again...

[rcnrcn927]

I type with all my fingers, and I got 62 words per minute, getting only one wrong(of course one time I got a word wrong and retried it rather than skipping it, so i got every word wrong for a while, so I restarted)

[FunniestofFunny]

I got 33 WPM the first time and 40 WPM the second time. 80 WPM is amazing! I'm a pecker so it explains why that's pretty low.

[FinalStarmanDX]

Great vlog Stephen. I got 43 words per minute but I don't think it works well for me sinc eI'm not super good at typing without looking at the keyboard yet. If I just look at the keyboard and type I can do about 80 per minute. In the specific poster you told us to pause at I could see Ocarina of Time, some mario game with yoshi in it (yoshi egg is very non-specific), is that the laser gun jeff uses in earthbound?, the sims,some wrestling game, and that's about it. I'm more savvy on NES games.

[stephenvlog]

@FinalStarmanDX I think the only Earthbound reference was the Sky Runner. Unfortunately the titles of the games aren't listed, so there's no way to find out if anyone is right :X

[SeashoreLacy]

tagalongs are the only cookies

[masterpokegirl]

haha im eating tagalongs right now

[Purrrsuasive1]

@masterpokegirl Did u bring enough to share with the whole class? :)

[Purrrsuasive1]

I thought everyone learned how to type in middle school! ASDFGHJKL semicolon was embedded in our heads!

OK CLASS... Keep your fingers on the ASDFGHJKL semicolon and move your fingers to the other letters from there to type. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!

[Purrrsuasive1]

Tagalongs rule the school!

[LOgANMaN1717]

"Use your fingers.....That's what she said" So.....monotone

[trevizo25]

And I almost forgot to say but i thought the cards alex brought were for you too and then he's like well your a good friend but your not worth several 100 dollars and why didn't you smell notch!!!!!!

[sexyawesomefly]

Thin mints for the win!!!!!!

[trevizo25]

Whoah 176 WPM O_O is that no-normal? Omg, i guess I really am a 9.0/10 on typing.... geez one semester of boring typing pays off... no mistakes.

YAY!!! Alex is back!!! woot!!! Tell him I'm going to milkshake on his canoe!!!

[vlogition]

Damn, I thought of myself as a pretty decent typist but the fastest I could get was 42 wpm >:(

[punbaca]

that's what she said

[PuppyLuver256]

Geez, it seems like everyone but me lives in an area where they have Tagalongs and Samoas instead of Peanut Butter Patties and Caralem DeLites! XD

[cheetah672]

67 WPM, w00t

[cheetah672]

The irony! I just bought Girl Scout cookies today for the first time in years! Tagalongs are also my favorite. I got 58 WPM with proper typing technique.

[Whacknintendobutt]

Stephen I'll trade your signed cards for 2 booster packs?

[stephenvlog]

@Whacknintendobutt Thanks for the offer, but I plan on holding on to it. You can buy them on eBay, some are pretty cheap. It's not about the money, though, I'm just happy to have a card signed by the creator of one of my favorite games.

[Whacknintendobutt]

Alex you don't smell famous people when you meet them? What is wrong with you?

[shoesisawesome22]

I was practicing yesterday and I got up to 194 WPM today. But my friend Sarah was at 345 WPM. There's this one girl at my school though, who can type like superhuman speed. It's like 792 WPM.

[LOgANMaN1717]

@shoesisawesome22 792? thats impossible thats over 10 words in a second.

[xryanjohnsonx]

112 wpm with a few mistakes 100 wpm without mistakes.

That card is pretty sweet, but value wise, it's all up to a person who wants to buy it I suppose. Some people think Signatures ruin things. Others think they shoot the price up 200%

Either way, pretty sweet you have something unique like that.

[HllKite]

I want that signed card OMG!

[Suudsu2200]

66 WPM

^^

[BlackxThornx]

82 WPM 

[tdwpguy42]

59 words woo

[BlackxThornx]

I like the peanut butter ones. I think those are the Samoas? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[stephenvlog]

@BlackxThornx The peanut butter ones are the Tagalongs.

[onomatoidea]

Samoas and Thin Mints! Took the test....55 wpm typing with all of my fingers...fail

[stephenvlog]

@onomatoidea Considering that the average wpm speed is 33 (not 36—I looked it up), you shouldn't beat yourself up over 55, as it's nearly twice as fast as most people!

[blueflare77]

76 wpm, and i use mostly my index fingers, in your face stephen!!!

[stephenvlog]

@blueflare77 That's awesome, just think of how fast you could type if you used the traditional way! Seriously, you'd probably be pushing or exceed 100—if your accuracy is high enough, you'll know you always have a backup job as a professional typist. Not many people can do that.

[alek21496]

I love Samoas. they are my favorite cookie of all time.

[dpsword]

My favorite GS cookies are peanut butter patties and caramel delights. As for my WPM I only got about 40, and I type mostly correct. I feel I may have done better if I actually knew what I was typing, because I had difficulty looking at the next word and then typing.

[02linkmaster]

Ok I have been play Magic:the Gathering for almost 2 years now, before I started watching your videos, and starting now my mom is saying it's bad for me to play that and it doesn't help my learning ability. Do you have anything I could say to her?

[tdwpguy42]

@02linkmaster tell her that it helps quick math skills and helps your mind think of new ways to win.

[stephenvlog]

@02linkmaster Magic goes beyond the realms of basic math, and helps you develop logic and reasoning. If you've played for 2 years you already know it's not about sending out the largest creature, it's about anticipating what your opponent will do and planning accordingly. Sometimes it can be hard to explain these concepts to parents, but Magic really makes you think. It's not an easy game and requires a certain level of intelligence.

[UnknownEntryRetype]

I love that you're not at all bigoted, but you seem really worried about all of these people that type with only their index fingers :-P

[suchducks]
