I missed five! On the other hand, my verbal skills are a relative weakness.

It's almost entirely wrong! Like for "impetuous," they didn't have "not owning a cat or dog"

(14,858 posts)2. I missed five! On the other hand, my verbal skills are a relative weakness.
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.
