American adults' vocabulary is stagnant since 1974, despite increasing #education.
No Flynn effect for vocabulary, apparently. #psychology

Interesting, but we really need to question the validity of a 10-item vocabulary measure...

I believe the validity of this test has been measured and is very high. Unfortunately, I don't carry around a bibliography with me, so I can't provide a source for it (I wonder if there are people out there who carry around bibliographies for every claim they make on twitter...)

I'd be interested to look into this. I don't know of any other standardised vocabulary measure that only consists of 10 items.

See https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/?p=7645 We are planning a replication study involving norming against several other scales to see whether they work as well as people think.

Nice! My interest is not the correlation between WORDSUM and IQ score, but rather other more established vocabulary measures (e.g. PPVT).

I don't have a copy of PPVT I can give online (is that possible). Takes too long no? But there are some other longer ones I could give. Was considering giving https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/VIQT/
