Language is one of the tools that sets humanity apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Language allows us to communicate everything from "There's a lion! Watch out!" to the deepest mysteries in philosophy. Language can be as much a barrier as a door, with some languages lacking certain ideas or concepts entirely.
Language can change the way we think, as is borne out by the spacial sense of people who speak languages with no concept of the cardinal directions of the compass. Language and culture can change how professions work, and are the reason Korean Air pilots speak English in the cockpit. The masculine and feminine tenses of words in some languages can lead speakers to favor certain kinds of adjectives for certain nouns, which shapes how those nouns, be they bridges or paintings, are produced. Most of all, language and how we use it is often used as a parameter to judge how intelligent we are, and what sort of intelligence we have.
We have devised a test of your intelligence, not so much to measure the overall power of your mind as we will gladly leave that to Mensa, but to categorize your intelligence based on the types of words you favor. Are you ready to find out what kind of mind you have?
