21,400 words.

I'm calling bullshit though. They say that most English speaking people (that take this test) fall between 20,000 and 35,000 words.

I know I have an above average vocabulary. They are making it act like most Americans have a good vocabulary. No fucking way.

31,200 . I read a lot of fiction and historical accounts that cut across many eras, so that probably helps. I do enjoy the odd turn of phrase also.

Bullshit. They say the median for a 33 year old is 28,000+

No way.

I literally didn't know maybe 15 words on all of the lists, and I only get 21,400?

I take what I said back. My score is probably accurate (which is a decent score)

Gentlemen, look at some of those words. You can't tell me you can come up with a definition (from your head) for the more obscure ones.

how do you know being above average when you have never taken a test before?
Its easy. I know I have a bigger vocabulary than the average joe.

It would be erroneous to imply otherwise  ;)

Maybe completing a degree and posting SAT scores give you a boost.
