[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since the obsession for test scores is so prevalent on these days, I thought it might be fun to post this link of authors, actors, and politicians ACT/SAT scores.

Ironically, the prolific writer and Nobel laureate, William Faulkner, scored 18 on his ACT but maybe in his day, that was a good score.  Good enough score to get him into Ole Miss and confirms critics opinion that standardized tests are not necessarily a predictor of future accomplishment.

Do you really believe these numbers?[/quote]

For example from : http://www.lawpeopleblog.com/2009/07/sotomayor-and-predicting-who-rises-to-the-top-of-the-lawyering-heap/

"A look at Sotomayor’s own test scores gives an interesting gloss to the discussion.  She was, by her own admission, an "affirmative-action baby" who did not do well on her SATs  and LSATS, or at least not as well as her fellow students at Princeton and Yale. "

No way she got a 35 out of 36 on the ACT.[/quote]
