Sheesh that was really taxing.# I scored a 146 which ranks me as an "extraordinary genius" along with most other CPers.
No offense to CP administration, but I think most of us would be better off spending our time here

Did you officially qualify by sending them a cheque for thirty bucks?
In other news...
At one time (when I had a real job) I administered, marked and analyzed tests that were designed to gauge intelligence and, more importantly for what I was doing, reading comprehension. The
WRAT was one of them and I used several others.
Far as I could tell, they were mostly BST's (Bullsh*t Tests). I used a widely accepted reading comp test that contained a paragraph about a baseball game. The student would read the paragraph and then answer questions like "which player is on first" and "who is up next?". It was ridiculous. It was designed for 3rd-Graders from Orange County that played baseball I'm sure but we were using it up here. I had a 16 year-old immigrant student take the test and he scored a perfect 0 for 5 on that section because he didn't even know what a baseball field looks like, let alone understand lingo like "who is up next". The results of that test went to a public high-school (on 17th

) and had an effect on his placement/curriculum in that school.
Smarts Tests are bogus.
