I scored above average on the verbal section of the SAT, but scored far higher in the math section.

Shortly after graduating from high school, I scored in the top 7% on a very verbal-focused IQ test called Cattell B, but scored in the top 0.1% on a more logic and pattern-based IQ test labeled CTMM.

I joined Mensa for one year as a teen based on my CTMM score, only to be disgusted by the people that I met at some local meetings.
