Could be also that they dumbed down the test. I'm just saying. Bless your heart.

That is entirely possible.
Is that "bless you heart" Southern-speak for "That was an insult, but don't take it personal"?

Bless your heart.

Such a cynic. What was your SAT score?

I almost wish I'd taken the SAT just so I could whip it out and participate in this pen*s comparison too... because everyone knows that what you did in high school will reflect on your knowledge and experience for the rest of your life.

Well done that kid. He'll probably go far.

I took it many, many, many, many (but not as many as Daacon) years ago. Back then I could care less. Today I could care less.

IQ doesn't change over the years. That I do know.

I do know that on the ASVBTs I score in the top 1% of the US.

That good, huh. I guarantee you that I took it before you, and I remember what I scored. I scored 33, but that was on the ACT, not the SAT.

ASVBT? What the heck is that?

All I come up with is:

ASSOCIATION SAINT-VAASTAISE DES BATEAUX TRADITIONNELS

Some pages mention test results, but they're not clear on what the heck it is. Sounds like a boat thing to me... I think you scored in the top 1% of traditional boats.

George, did you mean Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)?

Did you mean to write ASVAB?

ASVB test - Google Search

I guess "Correct Spelling of Acronyms" isn't part of the ASVAB test.

edit: I still think it's a boat thing

CSA for short. (Did I spell that right?)

That leads to confusion:

Confederate States of America
Canadian Securities Administrators
Canadian Space Agency
Canadian Standards Association (my safety shoes adhere to this)
Confederate States Army

the list goes on and on. Not a single boat-related thing, though

Back in 77 (or was it 76) it was presented as the ASVBT armed services vocational battery test.

Back then they even had a section on clerical. That's the only section I didn't ace.

Hm. In '74 when I joined the Air Force there was the ASVAB and that was part of the score for the AFQT. (Armed forces qualifying test)
