English snob webquiz

True English Nerd You scored 89 erudition!

Not only do you know your subjects from your objects and your definite from your indefinite articles, but you've got quite a handle on the literature and the history of the language as well. Huzzah, and well done! The English snobs of Boston salute you.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on erudition

I suppose that's a good thing, given my line of work.

73 for me...

Hmmmmm. 81% for me. Either I am very erudite for an engineer or this test is calibrated lower than one might expect.

Aren't all webquizzes calibrated lower than one might expect?

I'm sure I've read something about this regarding online IQ tests, anyway: everyone mysteriously ends up above 120.

That's just a self-selecting sample. The AOL users never find the online IQ tests. ;-)
