I use all ten.

Generally get the numbers at the top with good accuracy, but not the shift symbols on them

Know how to use the numpad.

Type at around 75wpm

I use someewhere between 3 and 7 fingers, depending on the time of day and whether I've finished my homework or not. I never learned to type correctly, but I can go fast enough that I'm happy.

i dunno, let me see. i don't really use my pinkies much, but i do some. I don't type "properly" as it is said, but i can type reletively fast.

i only use the numpad for numbers, and i can fly at it, too.

I was like "duh, I type with my 10 fingers", but when I read the thread, I realized that I only use 9 of them, like many of you, my left thumb stands still as I use the space bar with my right thumb eheheh

Oh.. I can type up to 92 wpm (that's my record)
