I forgot what that is, so it's probably not very fast.

Words per Minute. Use a wpm tester.

My top was 109 but it was on a competition on tenfastfingers, so I did the same one about 5 times to achieve this.

Hm, according to my first attempt here[typing-speed-test.aoeu.eu] which I just now made because I was curious (and to my surprise, I was typing quite fluently; when I write comments, I'm considerably slower):

Your score: 393 CPM (that is 79 WPM)
Your score beats or equals 93.22% of all.

In reality, you typed 412 CPM, but you made 3 mistakes (out of 78 words), which were not counted in the corrected scores. Your mistakes were:
Instead of "mark", you typed "kark".
Instead of "then", you typed "trhen".
Instead of "better", you typed "bettern".
I advise you to take a 2 minute break now.

According to this[smallbusiness.chron.com], that's good enough for most purposes:

What qualifies as a good typing speed depends on the population you're examining: the general population or professionals. The average person types between 38 and 40 words per minute -- between 190 and 200 characters per minute. However, professional typists type a lot faster on average -- upwards of 65 to 75 WPM. A good typing speed compared to the general population would be over 40 WPM, but compared to professionals it would be in the 75 WPM range.

The CPM metric is used to measure how many keystrokes a typist makes during a given time period. Characters per minute is often used as a metric because the name ignores the length of the words on the typing test. Someone who is typing lots of short, easy to spell words would perform faster than someone who types long, hard to spell words if you are counting words as a unit. A professional or good typist hits around 325 to 335 CPM. However, anyone that can type over 200 CPM is considered an above-average typist when compared to the general population.

According to Teresia Ostrach, president of Five Star Staffing, half the population lacks the finger dexterity to type faster than 50 WPM. The median typist speed is 38 WPM and the mean typing speed is 40 WPM. RankMyTyping.com, a typing test website that aggregates typing speed scores based on online tests, ranks the average typing speed at 43 WPM. According to RankMyTyping.com, secretaries that have taken the test rank around 74 WPM and the average 13-year-old performs around 23 WPM.

There are typists who extend far above and beyond the normal level of proficiency. According to "On the Reappraisal of Microeconomics" author Robert Ayers, a highly proficient typist can hit upwards of 120 WPM compared to the 20 to 30 WPM typing speed of a "key pecker." According to The Martin J. Whitman School of Management, Barbara Blackburn of Salem, Oregon holds the record as the fastest typist of all time. Blackburn could type at 150 WPM over a stretch of 50 minutes and peaked at bursts of 212 WPM.
