The Neuromuscular Basis of Typing
High-speed typing is one of the most complex motor tasks humans perform. It requires the seamless coordination of the Primary Motor Cortex, which plans the movements, and the Basal Ganglia, which executes them as a smooth, automated sequence.
When you use our Typing Audit, you aren't just measuring speed; you are measuring the latency between your visual system (reading the prompt) and your motor system (the finger strike). This is known as the Perceptual-Motor Loop.
WPM vs. Accuracy
In professional settings, accuracy is mathematically more valuable than speed. A typo at 100 WPM requires a backspace, dropping your Effective WPM by nearly 40%.
