[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious, and don't mean to be snarky, but are those folks with perfect 1600 just have that analytical brain and subsequent thought process to ace the SAT?

Therefore, how are you socially ? Awkward? Social anxiety? Introverted?  Work best when you're alone ?[/quote]

No?

Not sure why being smart and quick thinking on your feet would cause social anxiety or introversion?

EQ is a range but your assumptions are odd [/quote]

PP was just noting that most of us went to school with some nerdy kids, and those are the ones that we expected to do well on the SATs (and they usually did).  It's a stereotype, but they are nerds for being socially awkward, etc.  We have all seen it.  That is why we are always so impressed with an athlete or charismatic kids that gets a near perfect score.  They are an anomaly.    [/quote]

We had three 1600s in the late 1990s in our school (not all the same grade but all while I was a student there). I would say they  all are pretty socially normal. It’s worth noting only one of them was a straight A student—the others were good students but got a mix of As and Bs in AP level classes… maybe this is because it was the late 1990s when there was less “prepping” and these kids were just good test takers since day one?[/quote]
