I used to think I was the same until I realized that when typing I usually don't look down anymore. Of course when I focus on it, I end up messing up and need to look down. Still when I look down, I'm not even looking at keys... I'm just looking down. My fingers are still moving faster than I can track with my eyes. ;-)
And yeah, people are amazed at how fast I can type, too. Humans... we're a strange breed.
