You could say that there are 3-4 levels of touch typing

1. "Slow" typing: below 50 wpm:

2. "Normal" touch typing: 50-80 wpm: For many jobs that require typing, this is a good speed, such as being a secretary.

3. "Expert": 90- 120 wpm: For stenographers

For comparison, the fastest typers in the world can type at 170 wpm or above. Many of the top typers today however use Dvorak keyboards instead of Qwerty
