1. I-Type.
about 0 + 100i words per minute. Given that i = the square root of minus one, a solution in the real plane can not be expressed. And I'm too lazy to mod-arg that for you.

Any other questions?

11. easily 60 to 90...I used to be able to 70 wpm on those old
cantankerous Cast Iron manual typewriters with blank key caps that we learned on in high school.

The advent of the electronic keyboard has upped my speed definitely.

my accuracy isnt too great, but now we have spellcheck

13. When transcribing, about 80 WPM. When writing direct to
a document, about 110 WPM with 99% accuracy.

But it has to be a laptop type keyboard. I can't use the ones that you have to pound the hell out of to get a letter to come up, and I don't think I can type on my ancient manual Smith Corona anymore. I just don't have the finger strength for that anymore.
