I kind of actually believe you.

I’m with you on this. Syphus? Needing to cheat on anything Japanese-related? Lies and slander!!
Apparently I’m a white-collared professional in English, a teenager in Italian, a 10-year old in Spanish, and an 8-year old in Japanese. Though not an academically accurate assessment, this is probably exactly how I’d describe my linguistic ability for each language. Thank you @vargsvans for posting!

I tried it, but with the tears it became too hard to read the questions.

Screw this! I’m moving to Spain!
My Japanese is still too embarrassing to post.
And my English is apparently better than my Spanish (it should be!) but only as good as a 30 year old successful businessperson. I guess they mean that senility hasn’t set in yet?
This is hilarious. Sure, I “studied” Swedish for 10 years, but I don’t understand it at all nor do I speak it.
(the test also claims that my vocabulary in English is larger than that of my native language)
I’m in the top, but half of the questions are stupidly hard O_o I can only imagine what lays behind the japanese test (done mostly random and got a 40% like most people here).
At least I can console myself with my english result 
On the other hand, my polish is not THIS good in reality:
(although I can understand most of it)
Looks like Italians are not allowed to expand the English dictionary …

HA! Apparently the only thing we are allowed to do is read the Divina Commedia…
I’m also incredibly surprised about my result in polish, I’m definitely more comfortable with my english 
Not sure if people have already mentioned this, but the 50 questions are the exact same across all languages I have tried that I’m proficient with (Italian, English and Polish). So I would assume the same goes for Japanese and the others.

Sorry! You are the first 4 year old who’s posted; I didn’t realize it was a possible result!

I did the first 15 questions seriously, got bored, then just spammed the 2nd answer for the rest of the questions. Got ~5500/8 year old kids, lol.
really… they couldn’t come up with a single polish author? ww

- I guessed from maybe the 10th question.

To be fair, getting bored with the test and starting to click around at whatever is probably exactly what an 8-year-old kid would do

Oh man, I remember this passing around my Facebook a few years back. Didn’t realize there were tests for other languages!
That is significantly high than I’d expected! A decent amount of my answers were educated guesses. I’ll probably go back and look up the base words and answers I didn’t know to add to my vocabulary! 
I think my biggest problem with these quizzes in general (even from what I remember when I had my family and friends take the English one) is the multiple choice form. Unfortunately, a lot of the questions’ answer choices make guessing the correct answer easier even if you don’t actually know what the word about which it is asking you means. Similar to how you can find synonyms and antonyms using the kanji (and diagnosing potential kanji by use of phonetic components), the more difficult English words can be analyzed the same way due to high Latin influence in “difficult” English vocabulary.
Same score as my first time on the English. I do wonder if this is 100%.
Oh man, that test was hard, half of the words had basically no meaning to me! 
Since I am like a 4 year old, I might just well go and throw a temper tantrum for not knowing any of these…
Edit:
Did the English test too,
many of the words in the test were extremely uncommon to the point where I really had to think back to high school English classes where we studied the likes of Shakespeare.
Lots of old and odd English, if you are a non native English speaker and got a score like this, well done!
Not sure if Japanese and the other languages people have been posting are similar in this regard, but food for thought!
