Very fast! I touch type (not looking at the keys) and my typing speed is around 90 to 95wpm. Your typing speed can only increase if you touch type - if you have to look at the keys in order to type you'll never be able to increase your speed significantly. I learned to type in the 1980's when I went to secretarial college and as well as passing my touch typing exams I also passed my shorthand speed tests at 110wpm! Shame that shorthand went out of fashion :-)

I think only about 35 to 40 per minute, I don't type correctly, I learned wrong at my dads office as a child, making fake birth certificates and stuff on the typewriter! He he! I think I am accurate though!

I've not done a typing test for a very long time, but I think at last count, my typing speed (when I was not looking for something to type, just typing) was somewhere around the 80-85 words per minute range. Being online since '96 and constantly having to juggle three or more windows open (usually IMs, heh) has really upped my typing speed considerably. And yes, I do use all the right keys. I took a typing class in grade nine and have never forgotten the fingering!
