I guess I was born five hundred years too late.
Since I was bored I put put on my digital trench coat and slunk on down to the DU.
Lookey at what I found.

Overall, they are a LOT smarter over there than us Neanderthals over here.
They have some really sharp people, English PhDs, no less, posting scores of 37,000 to 42,000. :-)
I'm too lazy to do a proper regression and curve fit for the normal distribution from the results posted here, but the mathematical intuition and my gut from taking the test suggests to me that the highest possible score tops out at somewhere in the 32 -34,000 range.
DU vocabulary scoring seems to have much in common with Democrat Party vote counting
Perfect illustration of mere brain “smarts” are worthless (or even harmful!) without a moral compass, sound principles and good ol’ motherwit.
The test they used on DU is completely different. The “test” gives you two pages of words and ask you to check the one you know.
So, as usual, they can make outrageous claims without the need to prove them.
It’s my understanding that the highest possible score on the test we took is 30,500.
As usual, sounds like there’s some major fibbing goin’ on over at the DUmp.
