Do They Say the Same Thing?

You’ll read 12 pairs of short passages from old books, and answer two questions about each pair. It takes about ten minutes.

You don’t need to understand every word. Read for the gist: is the basic idea the same, even if the language is old or strange?

There are no right answers. Go with your first honest reading, and please don’t look the passages up.

What happens to your answers. They’re stored with no name and no email. When this test closes, the totals and an anonymous data file are published on this page, with what they show, whichever way it comes out. Privacy
