I taught myself with a book when I was a kid.
Can do about 90% touch typing--still have to look at numbers and some punctuation.
One of the most useful classes I had in high school, and I've always been grateful that I signed up for it.
Touch typist since I took a typing class in high school.
I use a full size Keychron C2 mechanical keyboard. Best keyboard I've ever had.
I can type about 60-65 wpm with very good accuracy according to the online test sites. I do not look at my keyboard.

I am not schooled in using the numbers keypad by "touch typing" but through much, much usage I can type numbers accurately without looking.
[Edited to add: I am insanely good at copy-paste and cut-paste using the CTRL-C, CTRL-X, and CTRL-V keys. Also switching between open tabs via the ALT-TAB sequence.]
I took a typing class in high school. Very worthwhile. I do remember the IBM Selectrics as amazing.
Just curious, are you a touch typist on a full sized qwerty keyboard (use all ten fingers and never/rarely need to look at the keyboard)? Or are you a hunt and peck typist? Or somewhere in-between?
I never took typing in school so I was a hunt and peck typist all my life. I still am but I'd say I'm really somewhere in-between now since I still need to look at the keyboard "a lot", but not all the time, and I use more than just two fingers.
How are your typing skills on a full sized keyboard? (errors aside)
I have the Keychron K3 - really like it.
I tried your typing test site on my laptop - not an ideal keyboard, but decent results nonetheless.

Lost a step from my earlier days - I think the fastest I ever tested was 93wpm?
