This is biased toward English speakers, of course. It's a pretty cool verbal intelligence test:

I scored 153.
That was a long test and some of those words I've never heard of before.

There can't be many people on the planet who've heard of all of those words. I feel like taking steps to incorporate some of them into my vocabulary, though. Some of them are quite good!

157. :mellow:
My brain hurts.
Edit: I'll leave my score up. But just throwing it out there that I eventually gave up and just started clicking whichever one "felt" right. Which was apparently not a good strategy.
That is all.

*thwap*Hey . . . I think I deserve a couple of extra credit points for knowing that a few of the question were inaccurate, and or false. :smooch:

They're lucky they put "almost" opposite or the same, or I would have had to draft a strongly-worded letter by now.

155.
By the end, I was really losing my concentration.
But I was pleased that I recognized at least 70% of the words, even if I wasn't quite sure of the definitions.

that's just an excuse, it's easier to stretch similar definitions one way than another.

I only got 151, and a LOT were guesses. For most of them I knew one word but not the other, so it was frustrating and by the end I was getting bored.
Some of the words look pretty interesting though.

No comment on the quantity of "wild guess" boxes that were marked.

Always happy to learn new (English) words though.
