While others were studying for the ACT or SAT, I was working and partying.
When The ASVAB tests were announced I took that just to get out of class for the morning. My percentile score was so high I soon had recruiters bothering me and decided to see what the NAVY had for me. First thing they wanted was to send me for a weekend of tests, including an IQ (first one I had). They said there some anomalies and wanted me to take another IQ (which came back slightly higher than the first) so I reluctantly gave them another weekend. Apparently they saw me in a nuclear sub, but my poor school record, minor police record thwarting authority and lack of some social skills nixed that.
Anyway, buried somewhere in the archives of the DOD is a file on me showing a 155 IQ.
