My typing speed is about 75 wpm, at least on the last test I took....which could be inaccurate because, I'm not sure why, but as soon as I know I'm being timed? I forget how to type, it seems!



I like to type also, and sometimes do quite a bit of it.  Other times, it's a few days before I really have to type anything.



My mother was a secretary for 30+ years, first on manual typewriters, then the new selectrics.....she was AWESOME!  She's retired now, but I bet she could still do it...I've never had the nerve to challenge her to a typing test!



My son learned typing in school...he was learning on computers in kindergarten (knows a LOT of stuff I don't know!)  He types pretty fast, but only uses about 4 fingers!  I've never clocked him but he's probably in the 50 wpm range!  My ex-husband was a "hunt and peck" typist....used to drive me CRAZY!



I don't have the ability you were talking about Andrea, but I when I'm typing a letter or something, I can continue to type (and type correctly) while talking to someone who has asked me a question.  Course, they think I'm just typing, and don't realize that I'm actually trying to finish what I'm doing while being so rudely interupted!
