OkCupid! has a test making the rounds. My results:
English Genius
You scored 86% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 88% Expert!
You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!

I'd be curious to see the overall percentile... It looks like my usual, only one bleeding edge of the curve in any one set, but no weaknesses, either -- which tends to get a 99 percentile for overall, in my experience.
