I tried "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", and scored 57 net WPM, 4 errors, 97% accuracy; I scored a great deal better than I expected.
I remember a novice test I took in eighth grade where I had 237 WPM, but that was spelling out "cat" and "hat"...  |

Arghh...I've definitely done better on these in the past...then again, I usually think while I type, so I'm allowed to type slow. |

IM taught me touch-typing.
Really, I just learned through practice. I didn't even mean to start touch typing, it just happened. The more I was on the computer and writing, the better I got. Now, I do it without even really thinking.
EDIT: Just retook the test and did soooooo much better... I was tired when I did the last one, so I think that explains things.
New scores are:
Gross Speed: 72 WPM
Errors: 1 Words
Net Speed: 71 WPM
Accuracy: 98% |

| I learned to touch type by just typing too much on computers and eventually just remembering where all the keys are. I just got used to the keyboard and where all the letters are. |
