You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go! Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

I missed one. Apparently, I confused "stationery" and "stationary".

I once bought some vocaliberry jam, but it was too wordy for my taste.

What I don't get...

I took that test, too, but I obviously have better English skills than I do math skills. How is it possible that I scored 100% in all categories, but higher than only 37% of the test-taking population in the Intermediate category? If 100 people took the test, and I scored better than 37 of them at the intermediate level shouldn't I have scored better than a smaller number of them at the intermediate level and an even smaller number at the expert level?

The okcupid tests are amusing but totally useless, both because they're made by caffeinated amateurs and because the statistics engine is... different.

I scored 100% in all four of the categories and got 0 wrong!
