How we measure this
We look at the gap before every key you press and compare it with your own pace in this test: how quickly you type when nothing gets in the way. This time that was about 4.2 keys a second.
A key inside a word that takes noticeably longer than your pace (this time, about 1.6 times as long) counts as a hesitation. A gap before a word counts as a pause in the same way, against your usual gap between words. Only the extra time goes into those rows.
Fixing mistakes is the extra time from the key before a mistake until you're back on track, or until you move on. A mistake is one slip and its fix, however many keys it took. Errors, above, counts every wrong key.
Breaks are stops of 4.1 seconds or more, plus the wait before your first key in a race. Typing is everything else, and the five parts always add up to the whole test.
