Guess what, I found it.  It isn't called Natural Evolution it's called best evolved.  Anyway, here's the link

Sheesh, you've got me hooked. I've been re-taking the test over and over trying to improve my typing speed. Well, the highest so far was 123 WPM.

I can type somewhere between 50 and 85 i think. I've tested a little higher at times, and a little lower at times. I guess it all depends on the keyboard. On an old IBM keyboard (super heavy keys) i'm the fastest. My iBook has a terrible keyboard however. The keyboard on my G4 tower is also pretty bad. i'd like get one of the new Apple Pro keyboards (heavier keys!)

My dad used to hit over 110+!

I tend to average probably between 60-80, although the highest I've ever tested myself at was 88 wpm (I've got a screenshot of it :D).  It comes from years of doing stuff on the computer and from chatting online a lot in the past year or so.  Heck when I type now I feel slow because I'm so use to it, then I start chatting with someone and their like "hold crap! you type fast!"

For me it all depends on the test I take. Thing is, I'm way faster when I'm typing stuff off the top of my head, rather than copying text that is on the screen. I make a lot more mistakes when I'm trying to quickly copy text as well.

On some tests I get around 90-100. On others I get between 60-75. And my accuracy varies anywhere between 85% and 100% depending on the text.

I type about 40 wpm.

In actual practice, far far far far less.  Unless your a transcriber or a dictationist, who cares..

In my line of work, if you can code at 80 wpm, you are a genious..  Personally, me coding is more like 10-15wpm mean value over a 8 hour period. (if I'm lucky)
--edit
I went to that typing test, and I got a mean of 67wpm, with 10 errors.

I guess that's better than 40

145 was my record (I memorized the paragraph and practiced for class one day :P )

But I'm usually around 90 or so.
