Please try to suppress your urge to respond >with malice. My first thought is that there is more stress with SATs. But different brains work differently. I do great with SATs, but can't remember faces and names. I do great with "alternative" quizzes, the type that Will Shortz asks on April 1st, but am poor with word scramble (at least via the radio). Jeopardy is easy (as long as they stay away from recent TV shows and music (recent = newer than 1980), but memorizing scripts is hard. IQ may be more like athleticism. Who has the highest Athletic Quotient: The downhill skier gold medallist or the 50k Nordic gold medallist? -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison |
