[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of high scorers go on to live “mundane” professional lives and plenty of more modest scorers go on to live exemplary professional lives. Please stop starting threads like this. A 99th percentile SAT is not a guarantee of professional success. Signed parent of DC who scored in the 99th percentile.[/quote] Yes. There's a correlation that might be interesting to researchers looking at a large population, but it's not particularly useful for any one person. Sure, it helps to be smart for a lot of jobs - I doubt there are few if any PhD computer scientists who got a 500 on the math SAT - but the outcomes for the group of people who were smart in HS vs those who were brilliant are going to overlap a lot. - 99th percent test taker who works in an unremarkable but somewhat intellectually demanding government job [/quote]
