Curious what kind of scores people here get.
I had around 23000, English is my third language but probably the one I use second most in my daily life.

[BIG OLAF]

I got 43,200. There were only about three or four words I didn't know.

[yoshiblue]

I got a mere 20,000ish. Oh well.

[Robert_Garcia]

22,700

Meh

[LK1721]

34,400. Surprises me since I rarely read anymore.

I do not trust online tests. Written Structure and Grammar are far more important in communication than the total vocabulary one can possess. A real skill is being able to translate between discourse communication into social communication. Master that skill and you will have a job always in any nation in the world.

[McLaughlin]

43,900. The only one I didn't know was leitmotiv, and now I do.

That said, proper grammar and sentence structure are far more important than the size of your vocabulary.

[BIG OLAF]

proper grammar and sentence structure are far more important than the size of your vocabulary.

This is correct. It's not the size of the wave (vocabulary), it's the motion on the ocean (proper grammatical sentence structure).

It's all in good fun. :P
And wow, some of you people must be really well read to score in the 40k+ range!

I only scored 29,500, although I excuse my score by agreeing with others that generally online tests are a notoriously poor indicator of aptitude. Lexicological diversity being no exception.
