Hello again, Codeforces. I'm back with the results. First, I want to say thank you to all 267 people who sent their reports. I was busy thinking about this for a while(smh), and finally, I think I finally concluded.

The results may or may not surprise you, but for me. It was more surprising.

So, I'll start with the general chart then move on to each chart of ranks one by one. By the way, colors represent the rank of the person. For the charts with no-trendlines, I prepared an interactive graph, so you can see the WPM, rating & accuracy of that person. Check the last line for the link. Also, you can find all of the charts in this blog as grouped through the links.

This is the plot of WPM vs. rating for all the respondents. Again, thank you for your participation.

Now with the trendlines.

From this chart, we can conclude that there is barely any correlation between WPM and CF rating. Both the $$$R^2$$$ is close to $$$0$$$ and the slope is relatively low.

Now we'll start with Newbies/Pupils. (24 Newbies & 23 Pupils)

Next is Specialists/Experts. (32 Specialists & 61 Experts)

To the Candidate Masters/Masters. (39 Candidate Masters & 34 Masters)

Say hello to the International Masters/Grandmasters. (8 International Masters & 19 Grandmasters)

I don't want to talk about this.

At the end, we have International Grandmasters/Legendary Grandmasters. (12 International Grandmasters & 7 Legendary Grandmasters)

Because of the sheer amount of noise, the only conclusion that we can draw from this data is that there is no correlation at all! So, there you go my slow-typer friends, we can once again see that you don't have to be a fast typist to have more rating in Codeforces.

except if you want to beat neal, Geothermal or Maksim1744 in Div 3.'s

If you have any further questions or anything else you might want to add, please comment down below.

Rating/WPM interactive charts

Note: The chart is interactive so if you move your cursor to a bubble, you can see the WPM, rating, accuracy, and consistency of that person.

Once again, special thanks to usuyus and adminreyiz for helping from the start. Thanks to Petremol for coloring idea, and at last, thanks to Nika_Tamliani for doing absolutely nothing but continously bugging me for posting the results blog.

Hello Codeforces! Recently, there was a blog about the relationship between IQ and Codeforces rating. And this blog inspired me to do a similar thing for typing speed.

Unfortunately, I don't have any fancy research paper that proves the relationship between WPM and CF rating. To have an idea about it, I created this blog. When I reach about 50 responses, I'll post what I come up with.

To take part in this, you need to take a 30 second English word typing test from MonkeyType. Further instructions are included in the form. As a note, I know that taking the test with punctuation and longer time may differ in WPM by a lot. But, to not bore you and take your time, I concluded that selecting the test only as 30 seconds and only with words would be better.

Thank you for participating. Take me to the form. Edit: Form is closed.

Shout out to adminreyiz and usuyus for helping.

Edit2: If you want me to include something in particular to analysis or if you just want to tell me something, you can comment it down.

Thanks to those who participated to this analysis! I got exactly 267 answers, I just want to say thank you. The analysis will be up very soon. Stay tuned!
