Said im no smarter than a 14 yr old lmao

>>10995461
Wait, wtf?

>>10995461
29975, I did reboot once when I knew I fucked up an early ant/syn/switch.

reminds me of an earlier one.

These tests are dumb.

23550, but I wish it was higher. Time to get off lit and read some pynchon

The test is easy, but it's hard to constantly remind myself what the question is asking in rapid succession. Like I'd catch myself picking out synonyms when it's asking for antonyms, either way goml faggots.

>>10995461
pretty dumb easy. i feel this would be better if some of the words had two or three answers that could be close. as it stands it's just easy.

>>10995491
It also confuses nouns with verbs sometimes, pretty shit test desu.

This test is dumb. You can figure out a lot of these from the context of other words and a true test would know I'm a piece of shit with no language skills.

>>10995527
>>10995513
>t. cheaters

>>10995461
Who /brainlet/ here?

Felt decent about it until the end where I saw a fuckload of random words nobody uses.

>>10995461
You do realize these are just quickly made up to allow normies a second of "feels good" when they score well. In fact, this test is probably so saturated with drivel that the percentile is way out of whack. All you're doing is giving yourself a false sense of superiority or undue dismay while feeding some algorithm.
If you are so unsure of your vocabulary skills, pick up some Word Power Made Easy book and learn.

>>10995537
>not using common etymological roots to guide you
I didn't really know what avulse meant but I could infer from the root given suture was one of the options.

>>10995491
the answer is obviously live
answer to the next question is "laugh"

wudup

Everyone on lit is the top .01 percent! Gee whiz. You guys sure are smart!

>>10995461
no idea how I did this well lmao.

>>10995529
Nah, doubt they cheated. I got a perfect score too because even the hardest ones came down to guessing between 2 options.

I got the salubrious question right and I think I've heard that word once in my life on a youtube video. For some reason I knew it meant something positive and since the other word already sounded negative I guessed that this was an antonym of it.

If it wasn't multiple choice I would have got about half of the questions wrong but because it's multiple choice you can sort of work out what the right answer is a lot of the time without even knowing what the words mean.

>>10995491
Answer is like.

>I love food
>I like food

Both mean the same thing.

>>10995617
>Answer is love.
Love is all you need.

>>10995617
To varying degrees, though. I would hardly call them synonyms. That's fucking retarded.

>>10995491
the answer is left. The left = love, the right = hate.

>>10995632
"Love" and "like" are defined synonyms, look in any thesaurus. It's about the context though, so "Both mean the same thing" is false in some instances e.g. my beatles referance

>>10995480
me 2

>>10995632
and that's why you're a brainlet.

Not bad, I think I only missed two. Native speaker though and always had a really large vocab

I am 19 and got OP's exact score. Only I have the right to rub it in everyone else's face because everyone with a high score is likely a graduate or already has a job.

Does this mean you got a perfect score?
These tests are pretty dumb desu

>>10995461
Eat it ignoramus

>>10995461
not even a native speaker or ever seriously studied english. this is what i got from all the years of shitposting on the internet

22200. Haven't read a book start to finish in about 3 years and even then those weren't even complex ones e.g. animal farm, percy jackson. Only on here so I can get back into reading.

i got 40k in my own language
must be something with the sample of testers or something

>>10995461

>>10995815
>I am 19 and got OP's exact score
and? so am i

>>10995920
Yeah Well In 22. Suck my shit kid.
Polish it prestine.

>>10995632
love and like are synonym in one context, but love has additional meanings.

>>10995927
So this is... what.....
It......
Is. Liketohaveabigbrain......woah

English is my second language. Do Americans even try?

this is perty gud considering i dont read books

>>10995926
forgot your image and how to spell, fag

>>10995947
if you did read books you would understand that this is not a real test

>>10995968
>>10995480
Its right there faggot

>>10995972
I wouldn't have the patience to take a real test. Last time I took a test it gave me 132 IQ but that was bullshit. It gives that same IQ out to everyone. And I worked really hard on that and I think I would've scored really well.

Then I found the legitimate test it copied. If I answered the legitimate test instead I would've scored even better because I solved them before and would have a time bonus.

>>10995973

I was robbed!

>>10995815
Hate to break it to you, but OP's score isn't high. Quit setting such a low bar for yourself.

>>10995983
K. Im still older.

Not too bad, OP. Step up your game.

Your German is as good as John Wolfgang von Goethe! You can even create new words that will expand the English dictionary.

lol this shit sucks

>>10996191
We're logohibitious, of course.

Guess I'm not retarded after all, thanks infallible online test

>all these people super surprised that they're scoring in the top 10% of a vocabulary test while they spend their time browsing a board devoted to literature.

If one thing is for certain, it's that reading books don't make you smarter.

>>10995612
I know what salubrious means because I played Hollow Knight and there is a character names Salubra so I googled it and came across salubrious.

>>10996225
Not many posts here use big smart boy words

>>10995461
For Japanese. I had to take guesses based on kanji. I wish I had no issue reading Sōseki.

>>10996313
If you have issues reading soseki with that amount of vocabulary you obviously cheated.

>>10996313
凄い、先輩。

>>10996345
You don't need to have much vocabulary to do the Japanese version of the test. You can try it yourself.

Not even a native speaker

not my first language, desu

Everyone here is a cheater. It's pretty sad.

>>10996532
>it is preposterous that people on a board for autistic obsession with literature have a good enough grasp of the english language to pass some buzzfeed-tier online quiz

shit test

20 yo engi student and I don't read
Got top 5.08℅
Concerning, since most IQ tests (even real ones) place me around the top 2%. Seems like I should know these words better

>>10995461
top 7.08% not bad

awful test, some words are misspelled, some connections are weak, and you could figure half the questions out from part of speech alone
my vocabulary doesn't merit a top score

Why should I be a college teacher in french, while I could be Rabelais?
In Spanish I'm Cervantès for the same percentage
that's unfair

>>10995461
>22050
>top 6.58%
yeet

Exactly 21000, top 8.33% English is not my native language.

>>10995461
Your vocabulary is worse than a dumb frogposter that graduated highschool at the age of 20, never took any foreign language classes, never took math above algebra 2, and has spent the past 5 years of his life working 8 hours a week at a gas station while watching anime and masturbating to incestuous my little pony porn.

So, he's better than your average /lit/ poster?! DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO

anyone who got below 30,000 and thinks they deserve to vote in elections is a breathing joke

>>10997298
I agree, but sacrificing the ideal of a government elected by the people, to represent the people for the practicality of an uneducated populace is the type of compromise that leads to tyranny. The only correct solution is lifetimes of work by average, real citizens building up a moral and societal structure that supports and nourishes an educated populace.

I wonder what the cutoff is for purple god-tier.

I lack practice

how 2 improve vocab /lit/

>>10995461
22950... and I'm 21 junior in college

>>10995491
Wait, do they mean like,
or like-like?

Is this thread a fucking joke? Everybody is just pretending to be dumb? How do any of you score below 30k while regularly reading books? Do you just skip over the words you do not know or something? Or does everybody here only read Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss? What the fuck?
I can see the average layperson scoring 20k, but somebody on /lit/?

>>10998217
no one here reads, they look up wikipedia plot summaries and use context clues from other discussion to LARP as intellectuals. are you just figuring this out now?

good enough for government work

18 and a non-native speaker. Never set foot in an English-speaking country.

>>10995461
TFW this reminds me of my own encroaching mortality and the dying of the light

>>10998407
>tfw u try to say something that sounds wise but you just end up coming off as a pretentious pleb

I rarely ever speak english. And no time to read books to expand my vocabulary. But whatever, still good enought to communicate, no one ever uses those fancy terms irl.

Lol I took the Dutch version and it contains words that are clearly not synonyms and even English words.

>>10995461
>bad test

>>10999701
Took the English one after that and now I get it. They simply used Google Translate for the Dutch version lol.

It's a dumb test. English is not even my first language. I guessed several answers or knew that the other answers probably weren't right.

>Your vocabulary size is like that of a 14-year-old teenager in the US!
dang, I've read 15 english language novels this year, trying to compensate I guess...

Did it again because I missed the change from synonym to antonym and so lost some points.

What the fuck? I tried so hard

You must be retarded to not get Shakespeare level

i don't really read books but am just getting into it. Don't think I'm that smart though

Nah, I guess you missed one
But yeah these tests are dumb

20 y/o STEM student who barely reads, if you scored lower than me you do not deserve to enjoy literature.

I guessed on two or three. Oddly a bunch of words that I just learned from what I’m reading showed up in this. Recalcitrant, noisome, and a few others.

This one is kind of bullshit.

I think recognizing words is one thing, being able to use and employ them correctly is much harder

am i illiterate

0.01% in German and 0.5% in English. Pays off to read Borges in English for ten years. The test is much too easy though, tells us something about the post-industrial western societies we live in.

>>11002610
that's a big word

>Top 0.19%

This sounds great but a large vocabulary is a symptom of autism which I'm diagnosed with

>>11002610
>50% of Americans have less vocabulary than a 10 year-old

Funny thing is, i feel pretty dumb when i pick up hard books and i didn't do that well on the verbal part of the GRE.

This test can't be too accurate

I literally didnt know most of the answers and just went by cognates with Portuguese. Most of the "difficult" or archaic words in english have a latin root

I answered the exact same way and got a different result in English. Does the Norwegian language contain more words than English?

>>11004067
You didn't do well here either so it seems that it has confirmed your inadequacy.

this is pretty dumb desu

I'm pretty sure that other test that gets posted here occasionally is better
I'm not even a native speaker
