Mine said "You've answered 40 of 40, by the way" at the end, before asking me for personal information and a username. I don't like sites that ask for personal information, so I closed it.

I don't know how 40/40 would get translated into Beginner, etc. categories, but I can only assume it means all four categories are 100%?

lmao! I don't like sites that do that too. But I was brave enough to do it just that one time. If I start getting freqent e-mails from places that affiliate with that site, I'm going to be ultra pissed and am going to highly regret taking the test.
 
When did you give them personal info and your e-mail? I was asked for a gender and age, but I just made those up.
 
I could've sworn Chroot already signed up ages ago and was the one who told me to just make up stuff on the registration. I guess I'm confused about that now.

No, it just means that you answered all of them.

I didn't need to give personal information. Just don't fill in the part where it asks for a user name, and you should be fine.
 
I wasn't going to sign up, but dduardo and everyone else said "make something up you dingbat"

Oh, that's who it was! Yeah, thanks dduardo, another place to waste too much of my time. :rolleyes:

I probably did sign up ages ago with fake information.. or perhaps I just used BugMeNot. Either way, I no longer know what fake info I used! :smile: I thought 40/40 was my score, and there was no reason to sign up at all. I guess I'll have to go make some other fake info up.

Why is there a need to make up any fake info at all? Am I the only one that is asked only for Age and Gender?
 
I was never forced to enter an e-mail address.

edit... I just went through the whole test again, just choosing whatever, and I scored higher on expert than I had when I actually tried :smile: Also, I was never asked for an e-mail address. Everyone does realize that they can take the test (and view the results) without entering a "screenname" right?

You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 86% Expert!
You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!

The only one I missed was this one:

33. Please stay __________
a. a while
b. awhile
c. for a while
d. All of the above

and I don't really care that all three are acceptable. I just chose (c).
