According to google that’s the global average and yeah that tracks. I never learned how to type “proper”, I have a method where I use my thumb, pointer, and middle finger, rather than all 5 on each hand, with my pointer fingers doing most of the work.
Freeform/Hybrid: Using a mix of touch typing and visual searching. People usually develop this naturally for maximum comfort.
According to google.
I’ve always been jelly of people who can do perfect touch typing with all 10 fingers.
98 in bed on my laptop, 145 at my desk.
I was the nerd in school who naturally learned their own touch typing before the school really started teaching it at all. I use only 6 fingers for the letters, then right pinky is dedicated to shift work, and left thumb is dedicated to spacebar work. Right thumb and left pinky are totally idle (except left pinky will get Ctrl when I’m jumping through text).
Interestingly, I think my fingers actually have overlapping domains, so if my left index is nearby, it’ll hit the d key first, but if it’s been busy typing t or y then my middle finger will do it instead.
Very rarely am I thinking up words fast enough to want to type that fast. Maybe only if I’m in a very intense, fast chat with someone.
