Test is here..
My estimated vocabulary is 22000 words.
I am from India.
What is your score?
37500, they say. I swear half the words from the second list were either Italian or French 
The other half looked like something I might run into in a Dickens novel (I haven’t read him in the original).
Spaniard, took the TOEFL back in 1993 (before living in the US for 5 years in two different periods) and got a perfect score, so a wide vocabulary isn’t exactly news. My other languages, being Romance ones, actually help boost my score in tests like these.
There was a question about where you’d place yourself in your ESL classes which was too narrow for my experience; at one point (thanks, Micaela!) I went from “getting a barebones Pass by pooling resources with 8 other students” to “anything less than 90% is a bad grade”.
I didn’t know most of those Italian or French words. Nor have I taken TOFEL or ELTS.
Aren’t you from Spain? EDIT: I noticed it later.:smack:
32,500. I’m a native English speaker.
It would be more interesting if they could break the figure down into active and passive vocabulary. I know I’ve encountered many of the words I wasn’t sure of; if I could see them in context, I would probably understand them.
There were also a lot of word roots that I recognized, but I couldn’t be sure of how to properly use the words that contained them.
32,200 native speaker
24,800 Is this good or bad?
I spent my formative years in Rhode Island, so English may not count as my native language.;)
37,500. What a delightful list of words. It was fairly easy to answer honestly and skip the words I couldn’t define, because they almost seemed made up. I was pretty sure that if I selected [spoilered word below] a graphic of a wagging finger would pop up with print that said “Hah! We know you cheated because THERE IS NO SUCH WORD.”
I’m gonna look that word up now.
One possible flaw in the test … what if I THINK I know the definition, but I’m wrong?
cenacle
ETA - that’s definitely a real word, but I swear I never heard it before. Kind of surprising, since it seems like something I would have encountered in books.
Same here. I’ve seen many of them, and could probably figure out their meaning in context, but I couldn’t come up with a definition for many of the weird ones when they were sitting out there all alone like that.
It gave me a score of 33,100.
33,900 was my estimate. I’m a native English speaker.
That’s one of the examples which, while I’d encountered in English before, I recognize easily thanks to having a Spanish cognate.
cenáculo. In Spain dinner is called cena - the root is the same 
26100 - English is my second language. I’m a bit sad I didn’t know oneiromancy (and neither does Firefox spell checker) - if I had sort of cheated and selected the words I wasn’t 100% sure of, I would’ve gotten a lot higher score but I guess that’s not the point.
I’m a native speaker. I got 32, 600, and was a bit disappointed compared to some of the scores in this thread. But then I went to look at the breakdown by age and saw that the average score for a 20 year old native speaker is 23, 874, so now I’m rather pleased with myself.
30,000 and a bit disappointed! Must try harder next time
(there were a few I only got because they were old Scots I knew from Burns poems)
40,300, but a lot of the ones on the second page I’ve only seen once or twice in my life.
38,400 - native speaker, 40 years old, credentialed to teach English, Language Arts, and Writing in two states.
I should have written down the words I didn’t know. The only one that stuck was uxocide.
35,700. Native speaker. I’m now going to spend 20 minutes looking up all of the words I didn’t know.
35,500. Native speaker.
43,200, native speaker, avid reader of historical fiction and fantasy, which helps a whole lot with that particular list of words!
Uxoricide.
What if I told you that the gods of dreams in greek mythology are called Oneiroi?
