The average wpm speed is only 41.4 words in one minute. This is far below the speeds of the record holders, or even the speeds that are needed to be successful in the working world. However, it is considered a good typing speed. The average typing speed for boys is 44 words per minute. This is slightly faster than for girls, who clock in at 37 wpm, a full 7 word per minute slower. This seems a little odd, because statistics show that girls actually enjoy practicing their typing skills more than boys do.
WPM: The most commonly used typing speed measurement but there are differences in word length, so a word in the WPM standard is five characters. How many words can a person type per minute on average? It is no sense to use a real word to measure a person's typing speed. The average person types about 40 WPM and half the population lacks the finger dexterity to type faster than 50 WPM.
