Via mzrowan, my OKCupid World Languages Test Results:

Language Scholar You scored a 330 out of 400 on language knowledge.

Outstanding! You've scored higher than even most Anthropology students would. You are probably a Linguistics or Anthropology Professor yourself (or at least a Grad student). You may even speak several languages and are possibly working on a new one. If not, then you just have an endless drive to learn about the different cultures of our world. Regardless, you are one of the gems of any society, always promoting a deeper understanding amongst all people. Unless you cheated of course.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 84% on knowledge

Unsurprisingly, given that I was a linguistics major in college, I did well on the actual language questions (e.g., “is language X a member of language family Y”), and not so well on the political/geographic questions (“is language X an official language of country Y”).

I didn't do as well. I was lost outside the European language families.

I only got a 300, so I suspect I got dinged on one or more bonus questions. I'd *really* like to know the official answers to some of those :)
