[quote=Anonymous]The ability to take tests well pretty much tells you that you are able to take tests well. At Mensa meetings, most of the members are great test takers. You will meet scientists there, but you will also meet cab drivers, bar bouncers etc. who are bright, but who don't have the drive, ambition, or social skills to function in jobs that would challenge. I've been an Ivy League alumni interviewer in this area for a while. My former college doesn't admit kids by just lining up the kids with the highest test scores, because we are looking for students and alumni who actually get up and do stuff. That's why Ivy League schools use holistic admissions, while state universities often rely on grades and test scores more heavily. [/quote]
