137 (dang, this post predates me joining, no wonder I missed it...

What this test actually seems to measure is you knowledge of obsolete or near-archaic words. If you've read a lot of 19th Century or earlier books, you'll do well.

The only thing I did poorly on was figuring out which tests, I'd actually taken. I hadn't memorized the scores, and the names didn't always help (Stanford Binet I remember, tho...

Snapshot Report:

Vocabulary

SubFactor IQ score=142

Subscale percentile=99.79

You appear to have a very extensive vocabulary. You know the meanings of most of the given terms, some of which are extremely advanced. You excellent vocabulary can help you communicate and understand the written word.

(Actually, I have read a lot of 19th century literature, which helps.) But I agree with what several have said, that this is, in no way, a measure of IQ.

A really good memory also helps. I know I’ve seen all those words on the first page before but the only one I actually remembered the meaning to was "choleric". I read a word, am forced to look it up, then later I forget the meaning. Unless it shows up often I forget. I suck at spelling too.

All these scores in the 130-150 range. Most aspies seem to have way better memory for words than I do.

I can't do this test, it's in English. My English isn't good enough to do the test and receive an accurate result.

a lot of these words are centuries old. Many of them actually have roots in other languages, which the translator may not pick up on.

I seem to remember that choleric was one of the 4 humors (substances the body generated in balance; if out of balance, you became sick.) which is practically medieval...

The concept of humors is represented in Ayurvedic medicine,which uses three types of state the body can be in. They're called "Doshas." There are Pitta, Vata, and Kapha. I think they are quite ancient, too, but still used today.
