Considering I managed literally thousands of agents over a period of years, you would statistically be an extremely rare exception to a rather well-examined trend.
Did you ever take the SAT / ACT?
- clarle 11y agoStandardized testing doesn't measure the same skills needed to be successful at creative work. Please don't ever do this.
- puredemo 11y agoSure, that's why every college relies on them for admissions, not to mention everyone taking the GRE / MCAT for grad school. Are applied sciences grad programs not "creative work" in your mind? Standardized tests statistically predict success within those programs. http://portal.scienceintheclassroom.org/sites/default/files/post-files/science-2007-kuncel-1080-1.pdf http://portal.scienceintheclassroom.org/sites/default/files/...

- wai1234 11y agoMore and more colleges are NOT using them for admissions because they predict NOTHING.
- manigandham 11y agoWhere's your source? The parent's source is about 8 years old but still completely valid.
- xiaoma 11y agoThanks for backing up your claim with a citation to directly relevant research. I wish others in contentious threads could to the same.
- pekk 11y agoWhat does measure that? An interview where someone gauges whether you love Node.js and can spout dogmatic gibberish about MVC?
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoSource? It's all anecdotal but I know far, far too many great developers who never even took the SAT (or did horrible on them) and are wildly successful in their careers. I have a hard time believing this is "extremely rare" especially considering most colleges now don't rely on them to a large degree.
