The MI5 test. They're recruiting.

Are you clever enough to watch a Tom Stoppard play?

I got 6/7 but I wouldn't watch Tom Stoppard if you paid me in Oompah Loompahs

I got 4/7, but I do know that Dada(ism), Futurism and Cubism are artistic movements rather than moments!

I got 4/7 as well but I though the Rosencrantz question was a bit vague. R&GAD is a brilliant play and the movie is just as good but I would not seek out Stoppard plays

[Youwanticewiththat 611]

Front row seats for me; rather strange as I don't get out often

4/7. Really annoyed I didn't know the Hamlet one.

[Toast 16,075]

I got 6/7, but guessed a couple of them.

3/7 and I'm not disappointed. I never saw or read a Tom Stoppard play. I did read and see some Shakespeare, but the wrong plays for this quiz.

The MI5 test. They're recruiting.

10 out of 11.....I'll start practising my speech now......"Evnin all!"......."right mate your nicked!"....Mmmm I could be in line for some police brutality

[En Passant 3,733]

I gave up at the first question, "What colour was the second moped".

 

Moped? What moped? There were 2? Blimey.

9 - but I'm better at shagging than James Bond so I should be a shoe-in.

[charon 4,943]

If you could manage a shoe-in that would be preferable...

I could manage a pair of 14 hole Doc Marten's in, I've had two kids.

[Handrejka 1,903]

I wasn't sure whether to put this in this thread or the English language one. Estimate how many words you know

I know 33,200 apparently.

[YoungWillz 20,927]

36,600 for me, which appears to be above average for native English speakers. I missed out a few on the second list that I have seen before, but couldn't think of a definition. And some of them I have never seen before.

[charon 4,943]

33,400

[Rotten Ali 600]

<--- 30,100. Just goes to show what little a duff compensive school does for your out come in latter life.

[Magere Hein 1,399]

33,400

http://testyourvocab.com/result?user=5330090

I'm a barbarian, so I didn't expect much. I suppose 36,300 is as good as it gets.

[time 8,576]

33,500 for me, which puts me in the 60th percentile for my age etc.

 

Comprehensive school, technical college GCE O Level.

[mijkediablo 79]

38,600, although I only use about 12 words in conversation.

[Sir Creep 7,069]

Preface: as an 8th grade student I tested at or quite near college level for every skill....except for English-vocabulary which I tested at a 4th grade level, to which I laughed. As if.

I think I just get asked words I don't know on these tests. I used to be quite good at crossword puzzles and even better at Scrabble, two activities requiring the best of vocabularies.

http://testyourvocab.com/step_two?user=5338740

Alas.... 29,900, slightly below average of about 31500 for my age group. So nothing new here.

And if any of you claim to know 'valetudinarian' (and used it) you may kindly fuck off.

29,900 I feel like a wog. How come they didn't ask 'wog'?

[Lard Bazaar 3,799]

I got considerably less than everyone else at 25300 - and 25000 of those are variations on shit, cunt, fuck and bugger. I suppose that proves the view that people who swear profusely do so due to a lack of vocabulary.

I got just over 27,000.

Meaningless bollocks.

[Handrejka 1,903]

I quite liked this one. 19/25 would have been 20 but I can't bloody spell.
