Test their typing skills on a smartphone.
I used to have an average typing speed of 120wpm but I haven't touched a physical keyboard in hella long. I can type about that fast on my phone now, tho.

My class never had typing classes in school. Our IT lessons were very limited.
My current style is a hybrid of sort of blind typing based on pc gaming (you cant hunt for keys in a match) and looking for keys using about 4-8 fingers.
Gen X graphic designer here. I did not properly learn how to type on a QWERTY keyboard, but have been exposed to it for many years so I know how to type on it. Hasn't ever been a problem not typing fast.
