the 92.04 was my first one tho in fairness then the 90.44 then the hidden shameful one then 93.57

So basically we are all geniuses or its not that great of a test (or we read a lot (to the extent of studying sort of esoteric subjects like typology) and thats coloring our ridiculous scores)

I did it two times and I was amused by the large difference on my own approaches lol.

The first time I slowly thought words and was trying to make them as divergent as possible more carefully, took something like 2-4 minutes. Result:

Your score is 78.06, higher than 50.33% of the people who have completed this task​

Then the second time I simply wrote up words that did come out of my mind and end up in 20-40 seconds. Result:

Your score is 86.08, higher than 88.68% of the people who have completed this task​

Two things: First, for my skill of creativity I don't think this test works due to so different scores after some time.
Second, overthinking seems to kill creativity, probably because I made it deliberate the first time and spontaneous on the second, and that made a huge difference.

@Frosty the highest score is actually 109.6
"Although the scores can theoretically range from 0 to 200, in practice they range from around 6.2 to 109.6 after millions of responses."

man

Wow.

Now Im wondering if people who doesn't have english as first language is at a disadvantage for this one. Its what you and me have in common that others on the thread doesn't.

Or you just inserted the word "man" and hit submit ?

Idk cuz I did it with three letter words and did alright. I think it goes for the meaning of the words more than the style of them. Like- its not counting “number of letters” or “starts with” or “ends with” too highly. But yeah, Idk how this relates to ESL. I think the issue might be if you are using things that arent nouns- which could be an ESL problem- or have less than 7 valid words (as it only takes the first 7 valid words out of 10- meaning nouns that arent too technically specific and spelled right)

This is ok. This just means its a harder game- which makes it more fun.

*spends 10 years coming up with millions of responses*

*dies one response away from 109.7*

@Frosty
I actually meant that I had done not after some time, but right away, since it took more than a minute and less than two minutes between my first result and my second shot.

I see this test is your new hobby now

And here I was picking different syllable counts, starting letters, ending letters, thinking about vowels vs consonants, etc, since it said different 'in every meaning of the word' or something along those lines.

Edit: It says 'in all meanings and uses of the words', not word, so I simply misread the instructions.
