I was fortunate enough to actually take two semesters of typing in high school (back when they taught it on these things called typewriters)

To this day one of the best and most applicable classes I've ever had.

That was exactly my situation and my feeling. I was teach in HS with typewriter and I thought that class and communication class were some of the most practical classes I ever had.

To answer the OP, I use all 10 fingers and I think I type about 70 wpm <normal relax speed and not full speed>.

Do any of you know some websites that do typing test?

Wow!

You must be an excellent typist to do all that in italics.

4 fingers. middle fingers + thumbs.

~100 wmp (depends greatly on whether or not I'm copying something or typing straight from my head)

I use my two middle fingers... It's my way of saying "Fvck you damn qwerty keyboard"

 

[calyco]

I dont use my pinkeys and last checked was 75 wpm.

10 (7-9 fingers usually if words only. I don't usually use most of my right hand, but all of my left hand apparently... Stupid imac keyboards teaching you improper keyboarding.)

I type around 110 wpm with 90-100% accuracy(if I want to lay back) to 140 wpm 75-90% accuracy(if I have to rush)

Any simple test online?

I use all my fingers...

 

[ones3k]

two fingers for the win

 

[cirthix]

nine fingers, i dont really use my left thumb very often. speed..idk, fast enough

I use all my fingers on my left hand, but only my index finger on my right.

I've been told it looks fscking hilarious when I type, because it looks like my right hand is having a siezure.

I can type over 100WPM with 98% accuracy though.

I touch type with two fingers at around 70wpm (net) and 75 (actual). Personally, i dont know of a single two finger typist that can match my speed and accuracy. Many of my friends dont believe me when i say i only use two fingers and even people that have witnessed my typing still believe i use all my fingers because my hands whip around my keyboard like crazy creating the illusion that i use all of my digits.
