    Not sure if this test is any good, it didn't actually test if I DID know the words I said I knew. Of course, I tried to be as honest as possible. I left out some words I had heard but really didn't know for sure. I added some words I were pretty sure I understood correctly.

    Got the result 21.500 words.

    So that makes me in the league of native speakers. Non-native speakers are said to be in the range up to 9000 words. That's surprisingly low if you ask me.

        and you encrypt all your grocery lists that you email to your wife, too?

          No. Your SAT verbal score was in the 97th percentile. Mine was well into the 99th.

            It must be because of the quiz's innate cultural bias against ebonics and anything related to rap or the ghetto. (Surprisingly the SAT doesn't have these biases, or at least not to such an extent?)

              Even better. I don't have a wife and so the grocery lists I send to her are just red herrings. (I really don't know what they taste like though as she never buys them for some reason.)

                  You really should create an email address for a ficticious wife, to keep the agencies confused.

                    Child's play. I used xRumer to create 3 million profiles for her on various cooking, crafts, and knitting forums so that they'd think I'm hardcore conservative instead of a pinko commie. She even has a Paypal account which I use to buy oil of olay bodywash (since that stuff is like awesome, even if you end up smelling like a girl) and tampons (for ear infections).

                      34,400 words and I'm omnibibulous.
                      There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

                        Putting tampons in both ears makes it hard for you to hear. Might make people think you're a girl too, a really confused girl at that.

                          22,700. And I got an 800 on the "critical reading" portion of the SAT.

                              Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
                              The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
                              The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
