English Genius
You scored 93% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 83% 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!
I'm a little weirded out about how I could score 100% on the Advanced portion but only 93% on the Beginner and Intermediate sections. (The quizmaster provides a link to the answers for the Beginner portion, so I'm going to go check out what I got wrong.)
These stats are somewhat comforting, though:
Compared to users who took the test and are and in your age group:
100% had lower Beginner scores.
100% had lower Intermediate scores.
100% had lower Advanced scores.
100% had lower Expert scores.
That seems odd, too. This means that nobody my age scored higher than 93% on the Beginner and Intermediate sections? Hard to believe.

Just checked what I got wrong on the Beginner section (the only section for which the answers are provided):
I missed the hardy/hearty question, for going too fast. I absolutely do know the difference between the two.
I missed the priceless/invaluable question, which I actually spent some time on and honestly just got wrong.
Btw, I wonder if I get bonus points for spotting the error in the quizmaster's opening sentence in the statistics read-out.
