Fastest Typist in the World: As of 2005,, Barbara Blackburn is the fastest typist in the world, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. Using the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard, she has maintained 150 word/min for 50 min, 170 word/min for shorter periods of time, and has been clocked at a peak speed of 212 word/min. Blackburn, who failed her typing class in high school, first encountered the Dvorak keyboard in 1938, quickly learned to achieve very high speeds, and occasionally toured giving speed-typing demonstrations during her secretarial career. She appeared on The David Letterman Show and was deeply offended by Letterman's comedic treatment of her skill.

the impotant part in the above paragraph is the use of the dvorak simplified keyboard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard
different than what we use today
also, the reason we do not use dvorak simplified is because typists were causing jams on mechanical typewriters because of their speed. i support moving back to dvorak simplified

Well I could do 140 wpm at the last test I had, but not sure if that is the quickest or not.
