Test Your Vocabulary

[Rson]

12,600 words. I am happy...back to my "See dick run" books.

[Chief]

26,800 I guess I need to read more..

18,800... not too bad considering English is my second language:)

[Saltwater Servitude]

35,900.

I do not feel the results are remotely accurate by any means. Interesting, but not accurate.

For example, someone with a bachelors degree in say biology or chemistry should have a technical vocabulary of several thousand words that the average person wouldn't. One day we got into a discussion in my Writing class last fall regarding vocabulary. IIRC, someone with a Master's should have a vocabulary of 45,000 to 50,000 words, but a well read person would have a similarly deep command of the language.

[SJHester]

27,900, but I seem to use the same 10 over and over again.

[duronboy]

I'm admittedly a little retarded. 20,700. Altho, I am a tad disappointed I got a lower score than someone shooting with Olympus... KIDDING!!!!!!

[Lexie]

24,600. Looks I need to read more also!

[SJHester]

Robin that hurt. I bet i have a few years on you so i should know a few more words (actually my masters is in Theology, so having a strong background in Greek and Hebrew provides knowledge of some obscure words). Back in the early 70's Olympus was the hot ticket (ok, so was Nikon), i bought a lot of glass back then, it all works with my new bodys (no auto focus, but that's what a good aftermarket focusing screen is for). Can't jump ship now. By the way, I got the humor!

I have the internet -- so I just went down and put a check mark beside each and every word that appeared because I figured I can look it up, so I must know at least one definition... right?

I scored a 45,000

(actually I took it for real the first time and got a 28700 and then decided to try checking everything)
