Maybe this is me being a pompous arrogant arse but I'd venture to say they by virtue of you posting here you are putting you are not part of the statistical average. Especially if you look at the survey that was conducted showing the wide disparity between the percentages of various personality types on Hacker News vs. the population at large... Truth is: The vast majority of people don't think or behave like the people on this forum(?) do. Edit: Just for the record nearly all of the software engineers I know scored in the 99th percentile on all of their standardized tests growing up. Obviously the merit of standardized tests can be argued - but I'm guessing you are smarter than msot people and just incredibly humble.
