25,200

At least I know to look up more words now, but it's alright when I don't know sometimes because then I can learn more.

I am kinda curious, when this app estimate my vocabulary to be 38100 words, does it count easily connected words like sail, sailing, and sailor as separate words?

Quote:Eight years of observation of the man trying to put together a coherent sentence in his native language, English.

Anecdotal evidence is not usually accepted as sufficient for a valid conclusion.(that's why one should avoid making purchases
based on testimonials unsupported by evidence).

I saw much of the same stuff,and admit the guy was downright embarrassing. However,that does not preclude a high IQ test score.

I agree that IQ tests seem to measure some kinds of raw intelligence. However, I do not agree any test measures intelligence per se.

Of course. Doing well at the IQ test means one has done well with the components of the IQ test and their analogues. Nothing else.

Intelligence is more than simple abilities.

It was enough for me to conclude that he was stupid. While my evidence may not convince anyone else, I am very comfortable with my conclusion.

Oh, I know how flawed IQ test are. Plus, they don't take into account things like emotional intelligence. Someone had mentioned Bush's IQ was 126 and my way of calling him stupid was to say it was much less. Believe me, I don't put any more stock into IQ tests than you do.

A 28500 words estimate. Not too bad for a non-native English speaker!
