Standardized Testing
I felt quite validated and relieved in high school when my SAT score came back at 95th percentile.
The realization was like: oh, I’m not dumb, most other people are dumb (it’s just like being crazy, you never really know if it’s you or everybody else.) and i should trust my instincts more and i will probably be okay in life
And you can say that standardized testing is bullshit and it doesn’t correlate to general intelligence to which i would reply: I don’t think you really believe that.
when someone says “i’m just a bad test taker” do you really believe them? what is a test? LIFE IS A TEST!!!! a TEST, TESTS your ability to solve problems!!! That’s life!!!
