Ahh 17100.. I started feeling like a moron at third already..

Should read more.

Fun to take this again.

Well, there is improvement 23,400 was my score just now. It's a really sad feeling when you look at all those funny looking words and don't know what they mean :-(

TheLionKing

40,000 words for native English speaker. A little above average. Not too shabby.

CuriousVagrant

42,100, native English speaker. Though... I have to note that a lot of that was actually based on writing RP stuff. For posts (on a different, PG13 site), I would look up alternate words to reduce repetition.

34,900 this time, second language. Don't remember what I had on my last attempt, it's been awhile.

33,800 -- there were a good number of very exotic words in there, so I imagine it's about the same as before, rather than a sudden loss of vocabulary.  ;D

For a foreigner I seem to have a vocabulary that is larger than average.

Looks like I have some work to do. Some of those words *looked* like things I knew, but since I couldn't be sure, I didn't mark them. I'm looking forward to retaking this later. Nothing better to do lately without proper internet (yay mobile), so guess I'll read more!

30,300 words, though not sure whether I'd count as a native or non-native English speaker. Still, would like to improve. Most of my reading is actually scientific, so vocab is more precise than creatively descriptive.

Kakihara

Huh, first time I've seen this.. taking the test I'm apparently at 33,600.

Damn.  If they had given me more medical terminology, I would have smashed it harder!   ;D

AmberStarfire

Scrolling back, I couldn't see my prior answer. This time it was 29,500 words.

I write for a living (that and graphic design). I don't seem to need a large vocabulary to do it.

That was a lot of words I've never seen before, haha.

TheHangedOne

Well, now I certainly feel incompetent.


7,800 words. Native speaker.

The thing is, I can't actually recall what the dictionary definition for something as mundane and every-day as a "hand" is. But I can tell you that to inveigle someone means to use charm in order to lure someone into doing something you want them to.

30,500 words, not bad. Though I've done a lot of reading so I'm not sure if that's average or not for someone with that much interest in English. Guess I'll have to keep the practice up lol.

Zaer Darkwail

My score was 18,800, so pretty good for a non-native who has never traveled. But saw lots of new words.
