It’s easy to imagine all the benefits of faster typing, such as writing up memos and documents quicker, saving time in your work and personal life, making it easier to take notes during a meeting, and even having a marketable skill. However, this is significantly less than individuals trained to use the touch-type method who can typically expect to type 75 words per minute or more.
According to Herzing University, the average individual types about 40 words per minute. Regardless of what career you choose, you’ll likely need to know how to type.
