33,400 words. :\ I hoped it would be higher. I guess it's true what they say about men: It's never big enough.
Nearly 40,000! Wahoo! I wish there was also one of these for Portuguese, so I could gauge how that vocabulary's coming along.
There were some words on there that I've never even read/heard. CRAZY! 32,000 Words http://testyourvocab.com/?r=257107
33,800 - yikes! I think I'm slipping in my old age. There were some I definitely remember knowing but just couldn't dredge up.
Towards the end of the test.....I'll bet a bid old chunk of change that nobody on WF actually uses these words on a daily basis. Talk to express, not impress IMO.
29,100 Not that it really matters I guess, no sense knowing a word that you never get to use because most of the population doesn't know it. Some of these words that I knew were words I'd never heard in conversation, but only knew from older books.
Mine said 35,000, but I don't entirely trust the methodology of it. It relies on self-reporting. If you have low self-confidence, you could under report your vocabulary, an overconfident person could think they know more words than they really do--even if you think you know the meaning of a word, you may not. Alternately, you could be insecure and knowingly fudge the words you know to appear smarter. I'd be curious if they factor that into the numbers. Still, irregardless of your command of vocabulary and the test's methodology, it does make for an interesting discussion.
26000 Fucking embarrassing. I thought I'd at least get a little better than average, not below average.
Don't feel like The Lone Ranger! But I look upon my lowest (so far) score as a positive: an artist with one crayon can still make a better picture than a layman with the big Crayola 64 Color box.
