Go ahead; test your vocabulary.

According to this test, most adult native English speakers score somewhere between 20,000 to 35,000 estimated words in their vocabulary. I scored 31,800. Yay me!  :)

I was rather surprised, as I don't read a lot of non-fiction for the most part.

After a bit of discussion in other parts, the conclusion I've arrived at is that this test favours the vocabulary of those who've read a lot of classic literature, as opposed to knowing a lot of technical language. That, and as I discovered retaking the test, just knowing one or two words more at the higher end makes a HUGE difference in the score.
