Not your internet surfing skills alone (u got here so we know those are ok!) I am talking about if you were an employer looking at you for a job as an office support staff member. How well do you use Office 2003 have you heard about the free triel of Office 2007 suite?
I took the same self evaluation around 7 mos ago and alarmed at the level of my skills I took the time to go to the Miceosoft Office site and self teach myself all of the Office 2003 Suite of programs until my skills were impeccable. I would now rate my skill level at an 8.3 of 10

Once I took up an assignment at the World Health Organisation and when asked about my MSoffice skills I simply said that I am an expert. I have never stepped into a computer class, but has been teaching it to others. All my skills are self taught, and I think it is the best way to learn. Now I have developed my own web page just by trial and error. It is www.slbrains.com .

If the scale is only for internet surfing and Microsoft Office I have to say that my skill are around 9.
I use Office about 6 years, at first I teach my self but last year I went to a course and I learned a little more about Acces and Outlook.

There arwe classes that you can take online to learn those applications also. Did you know that you can become certified by Microsoft itself as an expert?

By trouble shooting you mean repairing the balance in the Windows server to keep the pc from going under or having to do a system restore?

That is very honest and probably also a low ball estimate.

I can work my way around most softwares. Being young and having grown up around electronic gadgets, I guess I can do well in suc tests.

i think I will rate myself 9, since I have access in the internet I always see to it that I have time to check new softwares that came in the market. I really don't want to be left around. With the kind of job I have I must be up to date so that my employer will notice my improvements.

I would rate myself 10. The reason is because I can do more things that my professors can do. It's just that the more time you spend on something, you are destined towards learning more things about it. I spend a lot of time on the computer and that's why I know a lot about them.

I have spent a good proportion of the last several years figuring out what my computer can do, how and why. So I would have to agree with you about familitiarity building your com skills

Well if the criteria for judging computer skills is the internet surfing skills and mcicrosoft office suite, then i am quite good at i. And can say i am easily 9 out of 10. As i have done computer courses and i also know complete MS office suite. Besides by rpacticisn g on my computer and now using internet i have learnt more. But there is room for lot of imporvement. As i can do programming but i am not an expert at it. And i have to update latests skills.
