Now I'm not saying this is not the case, I'm just surprised we haven't heard more about you. Or have we

No, no, this was...actually, I don't remember the proper title of the test I took; at the time there were 3 or 4 of what were referred to as "standardized" tests, and the one used for scholastic purposes (one of two, I think, and the one I took) was not recognized as the most rigorous, by any means.

This test (I found out later from my father, who was a school-board president for many years) was favored by the teacher's associations as it reflected positively on their efforts.

There was a clinical version which was favored by the medical/scientific community for finding new "Einsteins", and yet another (formulated in the 80's, I think) used by groups like MENSA, which groups sought some unfathomable "purity" of measurement.

Just the same, I did extremely well on my SAT (1579) and ACT (31), and was offered a nice selection of scholarships, which I by-passed...see, I was intelligent, not smart.

I'd guess my 184 would translate into something on the order of a 150-160 score in current testing, which means (to me) I'm probably worth a solid 140 or so, provided I test while straight, sober and rested.

I can manage the first two pretty well, but the latter is a tester; I don't sleep awfully well these days.

I don't think I'll need Steve's special 'putor to communicate, though.

Interesting fact learned today:

A recent study reveals women say an average of 7000 words per day, while men average 2000 or so.

Sounds about right to me.
