Oh wow! I didn't realize you were listening here - how did you come up with the word groups? Are there statistically related "levels" of words (e.g. "if you know this word you're 92% likely to know this one, too?") In general, what kind of structure does vocabulary have?
(I immediately had my kids take the test when I discovered it last week - all in the interest of Science!!)
That would be a very interesting question. But without testing people's entire vocabularies (as opposed to our sampling technique), I think it would be difficult to detect.
