I gotta say, psychometrics in general are just such a lame indicator of real aptitude. Yeah, smart kids tend to do pretty well but it's so far from the direct correlation they make it out to be. I know morons who've been studying for the SAT's since they were 8 and lo and behold, 1500+...but it doesn't actually translate to anything concrete. Conversely I know geniuses who test low. It has more to do with your bank account: if you can afford classes, add 100 points. A private tutor? Add 200.

Uhh, sorry to keep this thread off topic :-)
