I guess I didn't know how to read the percentile thing when I took it. I got a 33, but didn't realize that it thinned out THAT much after 32.

Damn, I would have gloated a heck of a lot more had I known that then.....

nah, because after high school/early college, nobody cares anymore. it's not a badge of honor anymore.

all it says is that i used to be smart

though it is a good piece of conversation for people i've met AFTER high school after I lost all my ambition, because it shocks the hell out of them that with one try I scored that high. Most of my friends who I consider to be super intelligent ended up with like a 29 or 30 or so....I think it was a fluke, but I was REALLY good at math. 36 on the math baby!

Yeah, I took it way back in 1965 so I suspect the rankings have changed...
