Your result for The Writing Systems Test ...
57% Knowledge of writing systems!
You're cool like Homer. The Greek one, that is, not the yellow one you'll find at the bottom 10% of this test. Hooray!
(Yeah, I know, maybe Homer wasn't an expert in writing systems - but Shirley, his status as a general hero of literature makes up for it!)
Also here's the answer key real quick.
1. Latin alphabet
2. Runic alphabet (Scandinavian)
3. Japanese
4. Syllabary
5. Cyrillic alphabet
6. Arabic
7. Tibetan script
8. Hebrew alphabet (Trivia: If you speak both Swedish and Hebrew you'll find that the sample text apparently reads something like "tjenamors galosch". How about that. =)
9. Decades
10. Tengwar
11. Cuneiform.
12. Greek alphabet
13. Alphabet

22. "I don't know" - because you don't ;-)
23. "I don't know" The language/cipher/hoax/whatever in question is from the Voynich manuscript, an unsolved mystery. (Although apparently it has been solved, or so I was told after writing this test, but I choose to ignore that because an unsolved mystery is so much cooler than a solved one. Especially if the solution is a boring one. =P )
They scored 57% on Knowledge, higher than 31% of your peers.
