Son, I did not think to comment on this entry, because I really did not have time to read. But your thoughts about my mind are absolutely correct!

Well, you can now always say that on this particular test you beat me by a point

I scored 134 Man, why does it always have to be a competition for me Little Brother Complex? Uncle Freud would have a field day with me.

Artyomchik, that's why I figured that taking a test in Russian could be easier. But it wasn't, as a matter of fact, quite the opposite. Brian, according to the comparison chart at the same site, if you break 145, you are officially a "genius". Well done, sir!

Thanks for the link, Ilya! Got 126 and a headache for the rest of the day. Admittedly, I had trouble fully translating/comprehending 2 questions though.

So what was the URL of the test you took? (English, please…) It’d be fun to compare scores…

My wanderlust manifested itself in learning the basics of a few European languages ahead of my visits. With French, eventually, I reached a point of pretty good reading ability and an excellent skill in conversation, as long as I keep that conversation to a monologue. Not so much when it gets to be a dialogue, though

OK, I normally have a pretty big ego, but if you can do the test in English, Russian, and French, then I bow before you.

I wonder if they have a hieroglyphic one. It’s been a few years since I studied it (along with hieratic and demotic), but I think I could come back up to speed fairly fast. It figures I like dead languages better than live ones, although I can handle some Spanish.
