| 2 | Crooke, A | 52.5 | 6 | 18/8/01 | "Nice test; I found it quite as entertaining as the Schmies (you can find me listed with a score of 188/200). I eagerly await the Amharic version. I post as álainn at http://pluto.beseen.com/boardroom/b/55641." |
| 3 | Seitz, R N | 51.4 | 6 | 29/8/99 | "You're invited to visit Bob and Tommie Jean Seitz' home page at www.geocities.com/rnseitz, the Ultra-High IQ site at www.geocities.com/ultrahiiq, and "Ubiquity" magazine." |
| 4 | Schuessler, S | 51.2 | 6 | 18/3/00 | ""What do you read, my lord ?".... "Words.. words.. words..." Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2. Felicitations, dramatis personae Bob S, James H, and Mike H. Hail fellows web-met TJ, Walt, Peter, Paul & Gary. Ever considered forming a folk band? (Memberships - Mega, Prometheus, Pi, Olympiq.)" |
| 5# | Zolotarev, A | 50.4 | 5 | 1/2/98 | "Pffft!!! What a breeze. I'm a senior in HS and this was less challenging then eating Chinese food with chopsticks. :o)" See also Alex's score on Peter Schmie's Word Classification Test. |
| 5 | Dunn, A | 50.2 | 5 | 21/01/01 | "I recognised some of the words but couldn't bring their meaning to mind. It's a horrible thought but I think I could have done better some time ago. I wish I was sixty again." |
| 6 | Machkasov, Y | 49.2 | 5 | 03/08/00 | "Member TNS." |
| 7 | Baldo, A M | 48.9 | 5 | 12/3/98 | "The best part about this test is the words I *haven't* seen before! I love rolling them off my mental tongue." http://www.nscee.edu/unlv/Colleges/Sciences/Biology/ McClure/Baldo.html |
| 8 | Harbeck, J | 48.7 | 5 | 18/10/01 | "I was actually a bit disappointed in my score, but my vocabulary has probably slipped a bit since grad school. I'm an editor by trade now, but most of the text I deal with is for general consumption. I'm also the former editor of Gift of Fire, the Prometheus Society's journal http://www.harbeck.ca/James." |
| 9 | de Wit, W | 46.3 | 5 | 19/12/99 | "Good fun, though time-consuming to mark. Raw scores per test were 50, 50, 50, 48, 46, 40, 46, 42, 47, 44." |
| 10 | Walsh, K | 46.2 | 5 | 19/7/2001 | "For the curious, http://www.geocities.com/catha-edulis" showcases most of my verbal mindspillage (among other things). 174 on Schmies, former NSB speller, voracious and nearly omnivorous reader... not to mention online quiz addict. |
| 11 | Damon, C | 46.1 | 5 | 22/12/97 | Conrad Damon. |
| 12 | Taylor, A | 46.0 | 5 | 15/06/03 | "18 yrs old, 170 on Schmies with random guessing, 150 without, and 172 scored by each individual word, if that counts." |
| 13 | Peach, G | 45.8 | 5 | 29/11/97 | I asked Gary to do the vocab test, which he graciously obliged. Here's his comment. Read more about the man who first thought of X-ray tomography (or CAT-scans as we now know it) at Mainly Lace in This Place, & His Lordship. |
| 14 | Kisak, P F | 45.3 | 5 | 25/08/01 | "Great site, good correlations IMO and fun." |

| 17 | Byrd, J H Jr | 44.3 | 5 | 28/09/07 | "Avg score was 44.3. Test taken 9/28/07. Thank you for sharing this challenging test with me. My high score was test 1 (52) and my low score was test 10 (36). I would be interested in other high level vocabulary/IQ websites that members of the Great List of Literati frequent." |
| 18 | Alpi, B | 44.2 | 5 | 17/09/99 | "The latter part of level 5 and level 6 of each test was quite challenging." |
| 19 | Wright, R T | 44.1 | 5 | 12/02/98 | ""Such exalted company", nothing to "Schmies" at." |
| 19 | Hess, M | 44.1 | 5 | 18/2/2006 | Retook test after a 6 year break. See position 22 below. |

| 22 | Strawser, B R | 43.3 | 5 | 04/06/98 | "Nothing really ... just 19 years old and a lover of words" |
| 23 | Hess, M | 43.2 | 5 | 16/03/00 | "First five tests averaged 45.6; second five, 40.8. I've done a lot of writing in the past year: check my article in the February, 2000 Ubiquity at: www.megafoundation.org/Ubiquity/index1_2.html and my company's web site for various professional articles/speeches/interviews at: www.promotiondecisions.com/personnl/personnl.html#Hess." |
| 23 | Prasad, N | 43.2 | 5 | 19/08/03 | "Corroboration? Hmmm. 175 on the Schmies test. Engineering from IT BHU, MBA from IIM Calcutta. Enjoyed the Schmies much more than the latter. There's a slight increase in difficulty in the tests (49,45,45,44,43,42,41,43,42,38)" |
| 24 | Farrell, D | 43 | 5 | 24/01/99 | None. |
| 25 | Lewis, C | 42.7 | 5 | 9/6/99 | "some corroboration: Here is a link to some poetry, most of which has been published in some little literary magazine or another... I think there are a few essays there as well, one of which is prize winning." |
| 26 | Kuhlmann, H M | 42.4 | 5 | 24/12/99 | "I'm 80 years old and live in Seattle, Wa. USA. Have a BMus, MMus from Manhattan School of Music and an MA from Columbia University Teachers College, circa 1950. in New York City. Regards Morrie.." |

| 28 | Burch, M | 42.1 | 5 | 15/11/2000 | "unemployed, went through 1 year of college, member of NYC HIGH IQ SOCIETY and am socially defunct. Anyone scoring 50+ or more out of 60 on this test need to get a tan!" |
| 29 | McMullen, K | 42 | 5 | 17/01/2001 | "I am 18 years old, and a quiz-phile. On Schmies I obtained a 168. Good ways to improve vocab are listed at my Semantics war site (URL: http://www.geocities.com/katphile/index.html). Also, Merrian-Webster and Kaplan both offer free 'word-a-day' services. Happy Semantics Sleuthing!" |

. Supporting evidence -- Master Written English Percentile: http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=517
I took the test in 5 minutes, and only marked as correct those that I absolutely know the meaning for. My scores were: 40, 43, 48, 43, 38, 36, 40, 40, 39, 35. Further supporting evidence: my publication list is at: http://qtj.n3.net/~quinn/writing_editing/publications.html I am a member of the Poetic Genius Society (99.5+ percentile IQ required). I was for three years a member of the Editors' Association of Canada." |
| 32 | Stere, L | 39.3 | 4 | 15/12/06 | "I'm 13 years old, female, took this test for fun--and it's funny how my history lessons saved me on some of those words..lol :)" |
| 33 | Mac, A | 38.8 | 4 | 17/07/98 | "Ranged from a low of 36 to a high of 42. I guess not bad for someone who only completed high school. Generally I found the words I didn't know had specific uses for specific fields. As they are not in general use. I guess it does not matter too much that I don't know them." |
| 34 | Hallett, L J | 37.1 | 4 | 18/04/98 | "Average for all tests.
Max. 43 Min. 30" |
| 35 | Laughton, H | 35.6 | 4 | 01/04/07 | "Thank you for making this test! I was desperately looking for something to measure (for free) my vocabulary. This seems very accurate. Also, may I say that I am only 13, so I hope I'll get higher up later on. ;]" |
| 36 | Jensen, L | 30.0 | 3 | 18/4/99 | None. |
