Mostly practice. I can't recall when I exactly learned to type without looking. Once you know where each key is, it just becomes second nature and I don't have to think about it after 16+ years of typing on computers. I generally always keep my fingers on the home row and move from there. Index fingers usually stay on the F and J key. I don't use the "right" fingers for every key, but it's just what you get used to and are comfortable with. 
I know the keyboard I use can slow me down a lot. Certain laptop keyboards that are too tiny can slow me up and the more basic desktop keyboards can be tricky. I use a Logitech Wave keyboard that I got years ago when I saw it on sale and it's very comfortable and easy to type on. The hand rest and the curve of the keyboard is pretty helpful.

dang, you type that much and still havent developed any skill in typing yet?

i dont type normal/standard but im pretty sure i can hit 100WPM+ on a good day.  I type in a weird chopsticks kinda way using mostly my left hand to reach across the keyboard and only my thumb and index finger on my right hand.  it is highly inefficient yet it somehow works for me.  i didnt take any classes or anything, i just honed my skills with many many hours of AOL + A/S/L back in the mid to late 90's.

54wpm

To the dudes who are typing 100+wpm, try upping the time limit to 3 minutes.
I want to see if you guys can consistently type that fast.

40 and 100%

 

[defyant 1]

mojodmonkey - Yes. Ive been a paralegal for over ten years and still can't type to savemy life. I find that workign in an office most male employees, regardless of age, are +$%!%+ typers in comparison to our femal counter parts. Maybe its just me, but typing is not my stong suit.

anyhow, lets get some typing contest going..
