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.

After 3 tries I seemed to plateau around 120 wpm. I feel like my bottleneck was focus, I would misread or skip words, and then get stuck trying to fix the mistake. I think I used to be faster when I was in middle school and they made us use the "Type to Learn" game. But the speed isn't that relevant in adult life.
