I will say you are far faster touch typing proper. I never fully learned it in school. I kind of half do it. Left hand is pretty religously touch typing byt right doesnt' stay on its home row.

Just never cared to get perfect at it in school. I would get absolutely crushed on typing tests though with the kids who actually learned touch typing. They all had piano experience and could reach the modifiers while holding on to the home row still. I still can't really do that on my right hand, its like my pinky doesn't reach.

I use a Dvorak keyboard, so usually outpace the touch typers. By the strict definition, it's not technically touch typing. By any colloquial definition, it absolutely is, if I looked at the keys I'd be touching the wrong letters. I just have the Dvorak layout burned into my brain so it's what I type regardless of what the keys say.
