Having a good vocabulary is one of the ways to gain an advantage in society and do well in life. So much of what we do in life is dependent on how we communicate with people and the words we choose to use. People with large vocabularies are able to express themselves more clearly, in a way that others are able to easily understand. Those with less rich vocabularies and fewer words to choose from may have to resort to using words that are not truly reflective of what they mean, resulting in misunderstanding with others.
Worse yet, a poor understanding of the words we use can lead to miscommunication and all the problems that go along with that. So many of our conflicts with others can be attributed to us saying one thing but having the other party understanding something entirely different.
Take this quiz and let's find out how strong your vocabulary game truly is.
