<p>Typing: I am pretty quick, but I could type before I could write. I’ve been keyboarding since I was two years old. Usually I average between 130 and 150. On a test in 2001, I scored 178. Keep in mind this was one paragraph and is a small sample size, but it was worthy of a certificate in the computer lab. The record still stands but was nearly broken a few years later. The girl who came close wound up being one of my best friends–and NO, we DID NOT MEET BECAUSE OF TYPING…although I practice typing every day with the hopes of someday typing a consistent 170+ WPM, getting 200 now and then on a laptop. I also play piano and have done so since I was four, so I think this also has something to do with it.</p>
<p>Reading, I’m not that good. I can read fairly fast, but I rarely get any content out of it if I do so. I’ve never timed myself on reading but if I’m reading for understanding I’m probably the slightest bit below average.</p>
