To do this you can start a new blog, give it a name, and make sure it won't show up in your profile:
Go to your profile page (by clicking on your avatar)
Click on Edit Profile
Click on Select blogs to display
Make sure your test blog is not marked
To avoid the blog showing up in Google search results go to the dashboard of your test blog and go to Settings. Here you can edit the privacy settings.

That's very cool to know. I actually already have one, that was my first blog, before I really ever posted much, and I have used it from time to time for tests like you said.

Here's another very useful thing to know:
Ever get paranoid about losing your blog? You can back it up online for free with http://blogbackupr.com/
Phew! that saved me once...
And you can get it made into a book! or pdf file, ready to print. I store an archive version this way, but I can't afford to print it all, ha, it would cost too much in paper and ink!
