The way I think about it, almost everyone is bad at multitasking if both of the tasks require attention. (You can walk and talk at the same time because walking does not require attention.) If typing, either by touch typing or hunt and peck, requires attention, then you will need to switch your attention from thinking to typing and back to thinking. This probably doesn’t mean you can’t do your job, it just requires more mental effort.
