Hi,

I was just taking the thorough (select word by meaning) GRE test. The next to last question defines disingenuous as "not naive; sophisticated". This isn't what disingenuous means, however (even if the roots are NOT + NAIVE).

Thanks,
Brandon

Thanks for letting us know! It doesn't cover all the meanings, but it seems OK to me, maybe adding 'insincere' to the list would be better.
