I got a 22688. Top 5.5% equal to... Lol White collars... Then why am I a blue collar bitch?
21470, top 7.55% Guess that's satisfactory. But I'd still prefer to know my virtual age. And not the colour of my collar. ๐
Whew. Top 0.1%!
Now... Where do I put this skill to good use?
English teacher... Editor?
not the guy you asked, but also .01%. I read. a lot. and I pretty much always have. mostly science fiction and fantasy, but I pick up the occasional nonfiction.
books were always around the house when I was a kid, and we went to the library a lot. my grandma taught me to read before I started school, so that's about 40 years of exposure.
so nearly everything on that test, I've encountered in context and at least have a fuzzy idea what it could mean.
I find it funny that you're so literate in English but not so conscientious in math/stats matters. Are you top 0.1% or top 0.01% of English speakers? :P
(Only joking! This isn't intended to insult you at all)
Wow, what's your history? I got top 0.12% from being a pedantic kid studying SAT vocabulary since middle school (and from being a native English speaker who also learned Spanish and French to intermediate high school American standards).
Part of a Ba in Phil. I spent most of my life as a manual labourer and then fell into unix/linux sysadmin. But I read like it is oxygen.
