| contents | We present the Polish Vocabulary Size Test (PVST), a novel tool for assessing the receptive vocabulary size of both native and non-native Polish speakers. Based on Item Response Theory and Computerized Adaptive Testing, PVST dynamically adjusts to each test-taker's proficiency level, ensuring high accuracy while keeping the test duration short. To validate the test, a pilot study was conducted with 1.475 participants. Native Polish speakers demonstrated significantly larger vocabularies compared to non-native speakers. For native speakers, vocabulary size showed a strong positive correlation with age. The PVST is available online at myvocab.info/pl. |
