Here are all the results with descriptions

A person of few words
You might not know many of these words, but that doesn't mean much. The new wisdom is that saying what you mean is more important than saying it with words that only a few people understand. But, a word of the day app could be fun and handy!

Primed to learn
Your vocabulary - as far as these words are concerned - is on the low end, but not the lowest. You've got a few of them down, now you just have to add the rest. Buy a vocab building book or download an app and build your lexicon!

Fairly wordy
You did rather well on this quiz. You're not quite a brainiac, but you have a respectable vocabulary. Vocabulary builds over time so you're only a few short years to having a brainiac's lexicon. Keep up the good work!

Erudite
You know ALMOST all of the words on this quiz! You're quite the wordsmith. You've probably read several classics, keep up with world news and politics, and can keep up with the most grandiloquent conversationalists.

Brainiac!
Some of your words are probably superfluous, and you might tend toward the orotund, but at least you say EXACTLY what you mean. Some of the recipients of your oratory might have no idea what you're saying, but you can translate if need be.
