handwriting 5-10wpm (depending upon legibility)
Graffiti 10-15wpm (depends upon how many punctuation marks)
Ogo keyboard 20-30wpm (again, puntuation slows me down)
Typing 50-60wpm
I spent an afternoon learning Graffiti before taking the test. The claim of 30wpm for Graffiti is probably given as a software performance limitation. I'd love to see a home video of someone working the pen that fast! :D
