Ive been rated by a more accurate system in the past. I was able to top 84 wpm and I do so in an evolution of touch typing and hunt and peck where my two index fingers hover the D & K keys, My thumbs hover the space bar, my left pinky rests just outside the 1 key, and my right pinky hovers the backspace. From there, the left thumb will float between shift, control, Window, alt and space. The two index fingers predominantly do the typing as they move around their sectors. the right thumb predominantly stays as space and act as keyboard balance and the left will occasionally kick in, and the pinky typically works backspace and enter duty. So basically all I really ever typed with was two index fingers, two pinky fingers, two thumbs. So 6 out of 10.
However, that was before august 2010 when I was shot in my right arm causing a fair degree of nerve damage, limiting digit dexterity and dropping my WPM to roughly about 40 at best and averaging closer to 35. Its bad enough that I have managed to get slightly more proficient with using an on screen keyboard. All of which REALLY sucks, because if youve seen many of my posts you know I have a tendency to write unbearably long posts.
