I saw this at another blog (forgot where! sorry! leave a comment if it was you!) and was almost afraid to take this test. But I bit the bullet, closed my eyes, and this is what popped up.
On average, your blog posts are around 1330 words in length. This is 210 percent longer than other bloggers who took this test.
OK, I’m wordy. I use lots of words! My husband– that darling, kind, considerate man– calls it “verbage.” A blend of “verbal” and “garbage.” Ha ha ha.
Great, so now I’m going to have a complex everytime I write a post, second-guessing myself if it’s too long or too wordy, or…
this post IS getting pretty lengthy, isn’t it?

Oh I just remembered what blog I found this on– Laketrees! How could I forget, duh!



I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

Hi. I tried the caffeine test in this site and it was very funny.
I also tried the word test but it dindn´t return any results, strange. Do we have to sign up the site to get our results?
Cheers.

Yikes- mine was 85% less than most bloggers. All my family members would find that hard to believe. But hey- I could last 102 days in my own home. I took that test too.

Now, now … you just keep doing what you’ve always done. Consider it your duty in the battle against the dumbing down of the world wide web populace. ;-)
(I won’t even bother to test mine … it’ll just tell me to shut up.)

Ha! A new word for my short vocabulary! Verbage. I love it.
September 9, 2008 at 11:30 am
It just shows you have a lot to share. Always a great read! Keep up the verbage.

Ladies, I am passing your comments on for my husband to read! LOL
P.S. I don’t think we have to sign up for this test- I sure didn’t. But I think my RSS Feeds are on “summary.” So maybe my score is TOO LOW!! OMG! Maybe I am even more wordy than this!!! :-O

Verbosity is a sign of high intelligence. I hope.
Just linked to you and added you to my reader. Congratulations — I know you must be thrilled.

Hi.
Gotta try it again. My blog gave no results, maybe I´m the opposite, lol.
I was going to leave you a comment about the award, but somehow I got lost in telling everyone. Glad you liked it.
Cheers.

I am sure that I talk way, way, way to much in my blog! I just love to ramble in my blog and life! I love the pictures of your family and I hope that you are feeling better soon!!!! You sound like a go getter. Can you bring your kids and come over and help me get motivated:)
September 11, 2008 at 11:30 am
Got you beat! My posts are 244 percent longer than the average.
Uh, that’s not a good thing…
September 17, 2008 at 3:11 pm
I haven’t taken the test again since making RSS “full text” instead of “summary. I’m a little afraid. lol. Thanks for your comments!
