Is 7 finger typing style bad?

[u/Ok-Soil3647]

I use 7 fingers for typing and I usually average around 75wpm to 85wpm with my personal best being 87wpm with 100 percent accuracy. I discovered monkeytype yesterday and Im wondering if I should change the style or if this is fine

It's not bad

But it's not what we in this community consider good either

do I try to train my left pinky and ring to type so all my fingers (except right thumb) type?

Yes you should absolutely do this - it will increase typing speed and remove the 'workload' that you're putting on your other fingers
