Yes, well. It's not scientific. I'm just talking about walking in and testing offhanded aptitude, which serves pretty well at illustrating the point at hand.Not to shovel earth on your fire, but the SAT tests material which most people with average IQs can learn, and I wouldn't consider such scholastic tests to be reliable gauges of intelligence. I have known people who weren't the brightest of the bunch, but managed to increase their ACT/SAT scores drastically (ten points or above on the ACT; hundred or above on SAT) through simple study nonetheless. They are no longer acceptable entrance materials into the prominent high IQ societies, as far as I know.
Since I don't do the rote thing, I don't really study. Never have much understood the point of it. I figure if I don't have a subject down by the time of a test there's no good forcing the issue.
