i think “exceptional” math and science students are more common than “exceptional” literary jocks or history buffs. I dont mean people who merely do well in either category-i mean truly exceptional individuals. as far as SATs are a judge of this (which is very little), they highlight this trend. an 800 verbal is much more rare than an 800 math. too bad the analogies are gone-it is the human ability to analagize that sets our cognative abilities above those of animals.
