My vocabulary in English and Russian is in the top 0,01%. In Spanish it’s in the top 0.23%. The test I took told me I’m Shakespeare, Cervantes and Pushkin combined.

The quiz is certainly wrong since my vocabulary is not greater in English than in Russian, I am sure. I once took other quizzes which showed less flattering results.
Your Russian Vocabulary Size is: 27150
Top 0.01%
Your Russian is as good as Pushkin! You can even create new words that will expand the Russian dictionary.AND
Your English Vocabulary Size is: 29450
Top 0.23%
You are Shakespeare!LikeLike

My English score is 0.12 (I’m Shakespeare!?)
My Polish score was 0.31 (With the lesss impressive note: Your Polish is as good as a college professor specialized in Polish! You can even create new words that will expand the Polish dictionary.)
I did the Polish test first, if I did it second I might do slightly better as it’s just a translation of the English with some weird lexical choices so the synonym of wdowa (Widow) is ‘żona’ (Wife)….

My vocab results in English are modest — estimated 23k words, and top 5% (“The level of professional white collars in the US”). I suppose it’s not bad considering that English is not my native language and I work in a technical field, but obviously it could be better. Less blogging, more reading, I guess!

I don’t think that a result in the top 5% is anything to feel bad about. There have been presidents in this country who’d be lucky to end up in the bottom 20% at least.

0.01%, 30150. Had to guess on ‘avulse’, but looks my guess was correct.

My score on the English grammar test was 104 (top 0.01%), and my German vocabulary size was “20660” (top 5.08%), so I score well with languages and word structure.
My mother was an English teacher and karate expert. Whenever I made a mistake in grammar, she’d deck me with a karate chop. You learn quickly under such circumstances.

I might of done better if I tried more harder.

I just did the English grammar test and scored 116.
(0.01%, “Language god. Your English level has reached extraordinary heights. No one can compete with you.) I thought it wasn’t hard at all, in contrast with the vocabulary test, where I’d never seen some of the words.LikeLike

For a whole new perspective on vocabulary, check out this book:
https://www.amazon.com/American-Heritage-Dictionary-Indo-European-Roots/dp/0618082506I assume that there are analogous books out there for Spanish, Russian, etc.
