I only use the right shift key.  On average I type at 210 WPM, ~99% accurately.   8)

Typing the word "a" 210 times in a minute doesn't count. :)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Heh, agreed.  People are really impressed when I tell them that my latest rated typing speed was about 150wpm.  I typically don't worry about accuracy so much because almost always my inaccuracies stem from misspellings, which I can usually feel and automatically correct (for instance, I don't need to see a monitor to know that I've misspelled a word).

I type correctly with my left hand and chicken peck with my right (occasionally I use my right middle finger, and sometimes my thumb for space, but that's it).

PS: left.

I'm the same way, I know that I've misspelled a word as soon as I type it, although I don't necessarily know what I did wrong, and I generally need a monitor to fix it.

Hahah.  In biology we were writing papers, and we were using laptops (lack of ergonomic..ness.. kills me).  I ended up typing "happenes" instead of "happens" because I was rushing, and because laptops hate me with their small keys that you have to barely tap to press.

I can type 175 wpm, usually high-nineties accuracy. I had to, to get my computer  :P.

175 miles per hour?!  HOLY SHIT! :P

I just did an online test, since I haven't done one since junior high, and apparently I can type at 95wpm without making mistakes.

However, I think at significantly below 95wpm, so unless I'm transcribing it's a pretty useless statistic.

Likewise. Typing any faster than I do already would not be useful for anything. Except for maybe getting in the message I was typing where it was relevant, rather than after two or three unrelated ones go by like when talking to certain people who type much faster than I. *points at newby*
