Today, I’m sharing with you three simple, short and even fun tests to test your dialect and your vocabulary in English.
Which English? (5 min)
An algorithm will guess your dialect and your native language. The more people take the test, the better its guess will be. I took it twice and got English (UK) as my dialect. Scottish and Australian/Welsh were the second and third/third guesses, respectively. As for my native language, the first option was English (UK) and the third was Finnish both times. Its second guess was either Spanish or Hungarian.
How strong is your vocabulary? (1 min)
There’s only 10 questions. You need to select a synonym for each word out of four choices. That’s all. The average score is 2470. My average [3 attempts] is 2800.
Word test (5 min)
In this test you get 100 letter sequences. You have to decide whether they are actual English words or not. This gives an estimate of the percentage of English words that you know. Natives should get about 67 %; high-proficient second language speakers should get 33 %. My average [3 attempts] is 71 %.
I encourage you to take the tests and share your results here. Try to beat me. Someone has to take this show-off down a peck or two.
Cool post. Apparently i know a lot of words! 🙂
Thanks. You seem to be a healthy man with a healthy vocab. Nice to see you around.
