Is it REAL or is it FAKE?

Did you know that the skills you need to recognize a real word are completely different from the skills you use to recognize a fake word?

How well would you do? Which one of your word-recognition superpowers is naturally stronger?

The Center for Reading Research provides an online Word Test to measure:

➡️​ How large your vocabulary is.

➡️​ How well you can distinguish between a FAKE word and a REAL word.

With this test you get a valid estimate of your English vocabulary size within 4 minutes and you help scientific research by advancing word knowledge.

These are the same folks at Ghent University in Belgium who conducted the readability research which led to major improvements in DiceWare.
