The purpose of this text is to evaluate your typing speed. Do your best, and at the end of this passage you will have improved your skills in typing. Touch typing is the preferred method if great speed and efficiency are desired. This means typing while looking at the screen and not the keyboard, without even a peep! It will take time to learn where all of the keys are, but when you do you will be rewarded with excellent typing ability. The average speed attained by touch typists is 45 wpm, but speeds much higher have been reached. Professional typists routinely hit 80 wpm, and some practiced individuals have even made it to 150 wpm! The key to these great speeds is practice. With enough zeal and repetition in your typing endeavors, the sky is the limit!
