Does it matter? I think faster than I type, but a lot of what I think is jumbled garbage. Why on earth would I want to barf that onto the screen?
I think perhaps 2x as fast as I type, which gives me time to consider what or how I want to say something, without constraining me to the choking snail's pace that is, for example, T-9.
FWIW the article's test pegs me at 95wpm; extended tests with sneaky words usually clock me around 75wpm.
(When I meet a word I can't spell instantly, I have to transcribe the letters rather than the word, which is slower)
Don't know. My hope would be that if I could get more of my thoughts down faster, I would have more time to prune and generally edit what I wrote.
In general, I think there has to be advantages to be a bit more in step with how you are thinking and how you are typing. That is, if I am constantly interrupting my typing thoughts with my actual thoughts, and vice versa, I will go slower.
Probably matters a lot as to how you personally think. I am not a visual person, so I rarely "see" what it is I am thinking. The words are essential to my understanding some things. So, having two thought processes going both involving words is very difficult if one is constantly thrashing the other.
