I ended up at 27,400 words. Some of those words presented I hadn't even heard about before in my life, let alone know a definition

Pretty cool test, scientific value is probably low with such a small pool of words but hey, it's the internet

29,100. I am not really satisfied with this, you need to know lots of words so that you can use colourful impressions in your creative endeavors (dmods, stories etc). Actually writing stuff and striving to be eloquent about it is probably also the best way to increase your vocabulary, so I guess I should just do more of that.

31,200 I take it that's a good score right?

Mmmm, pizza. 
30800 words. I got two D-Mods on the second page! (Rascal and Mayhem). The details of how the test is created and how the results are interpreted are neat as well

34,400. Woo!

However I don't know that I'd be able to use all those words myself... I know what they mean when I see them but doubt I'd be able to use many of the more interesting words in writing/conversation.

Edit: I just read the details about receptive vs productive vocabulary. They explain it better than I did.

Thirty-one thousand six hundred. It's really embarrassing, to say the least.

There's also obnoxious vocabulary, which is all the words you never should use. Words like valetudinarian, pluvious, jargon and most phobias.

@Scratch, what does valetudinarian mean

@Everyone else, I am back, The reason I was gone was no internet connection, but now I can piggy-back on someone else's connection.

18,800. I missed about two words on the first part and most of the third and fourth columns on the second part. There were a lot of words I recognized but couldn't put a check in because I wasn't sure about what they meant.

And hey everyone, I had a similar problem as Dack; my internet has been out for a couple of weeks thanks to a router malfunction.
