43.75% this time, about 1 percent/year lol.

Oh it's my 3rd time taking it... this time 3% in less than a year! Mostly because I remembered what the last two questions were but also due to my improvement in the Romance languages.

I got 51.88% this time. I'm a Master Language Geek.

my score would be even higher if I was as interested in the phonetics of the languages I'm not learning as I am in their grammar. And I'd need maybe half an hour to brush up in order to speak on the linguistics topics mentioned.

Results

You scored 36.88% on the Language Geek Test! You've earned the title of Senior Language Geek .

That's actually a higher score than I thought I would get. When I had completed about half of the test, I felt
like I had ticked quite few boxes... luckily I could tick a lot more when I got to the "I have" part.

Fun test, by the way.

I did it for the second time, but I really haven't made much progress since last time:

2008:
You scored 44.38% on the Language Geek Test! You've earned the title of Senior Language Geek

2010:
You scored 49.38% on the Language Geek Test! You've earned the title of Senior Language Geek

But I'm nerdy enough to wonder why the decimal hasn't changed when the integer has.

EDIT: now that I have been studying Bahasa Malasia/Indonesia for almost three weeks I have definitely passed the 50% benchmark

The third time my score went down, which shouldn't technically be possible - so my memory must have deteriorated. At least the decimals were different this time: 46,25, but still a senior geek

Fourth time and back on track: "You scored 52.5% on the Language Geek Test! You've earned the title of Master Language Geek." I don't know what I forgot to tick last time, but I ticked one thing I didn't do last time: wanting to learn an African language.
