3280.
They got me on complacency.
I put overconfident,

I don't think so.  I didn't have complacency on my list.

I got a 2340 and I'm a 20-something.

I've never heard someone use a few of those words, so I missed them.

3220 the first time I took it because I missed one (Puerile).  I took it again and got 3840.   :naughty:

I loved vocabulary tests as a kid  :-)

3220.  I missed one.  Gestalt.  I thought that meant "whole," and none of the choices were similar.
