I don't know how to touch type, I have a "two fingers and thumb" approach and never have to look at the keyboard (I was given a German keyboard at work and I never noticed until a German sat down and tried to use it). I was curious what "fast" is so I just took this test:

http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com/

You reached 395 points, so you achieved position 14664 of 1148922 on the ranking list

You type 588 characters per minute You have 98 correct words and you have 6 wrong words

Which is close to 99th percentile, although that website may have a bias towards slow typists. What speed would a touch typist expect?
