43.75% this time, about 1 percent/year lol.
Oh it's my 3rd time taking it... this time 3% in less than a year! Mostly because I remembered what the last two questions were but also due to my improvement in the Romance languages.

Fun test, thanks Sprachprofi.
I guess my score is fair, given my lack of ambition to raise kids in Klingon, construct a conlang, etc. I have scored my answers conservatively: I did not count the question on Malayalam, because I only knew it is an Indian language, I was not sure if it was IE or Dravidian. Also I did not count writing shopping lists and suchlike in English as doing so in a foreign language.

I definitely like the test with its mix of fairly objective to-the-point questions and some more funny stuff. I do wonder about one question:

I have...
argued for the use of an international lingua franca

- here I said no, because a successful lingua franca reduces the motivation for people to become multilingual. This makes me less of a language geek in the eyes of the test, but I guess that's fine, some geeks are prone to over-rationalizing and no test can capture that... :-)
