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.

i fucking hate .com bubble domains like "typing.com" "pets.com" "pooping.com". anyway my top speed on a good day is around 120 wpm and it sucks because i cannot go further. my muscle memory has been limited to a shitty made-up style of 8 finger typing, and re-training it will just kill my productivity. my keyboard is also fucked (some key caps have popped out/been split in half) but that affects me less than the shitty typing style.
