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.

you'll probably work through that plateau some day. it's great to learn how to do, cool to see someone making the effort to go back and pick that up.

well i'm working remote now, a lot of jobs want 60wpm lol. also i always knew the way i typed was really inefficient, and would result in my hands cramping after a while of doing it. my home row was WASD and my other hand would literally just float LOL

Both of my hands float tbh but I've been typing on computers since I was a kid, I got an F on form and an A in everything else when I had to take typing lessons in elementary school.
