Poll: Do you touch-type?

Like most of you, I've had my hands on a keyboard for most of the day for many years now. I'm pretty fast, and I don't need to look down, but I wouldn't say I really touch-type. That is, I don't keep my fingers on the home keys and I only use three fingers of each hand. I make more mistakes than I should.

Am I the only one like this? Has anyone been like me and learned The Right Way? I'd love to cut down on the number of mistakes I make, but so far Mavis Beacon is mind-numbingly boring (and demotivating because I'm so much slower The Right Way).

Any tips?
