   I managed fairly well in school considering how much I hated it..   
      
   A 'friend' once burned my hand with his bunsen burner and when I yelped, the   
   Chemistry teacher gave ME heck for disturbing those around me.. "You may be   
   able to screw around and get 80's but those around you can't so..."   
      
   When our SAT tests came up (University entance exams?) I was thrilled because   
   everyone who worked after school wanted to get time off to study and take   
   sample tests and meet with tutors.. and that meant I got almost unlimited   
   overtime at the grocery store I worked part time in. My friends all said I was   
   crazy for not studying like crazy for the SAT's but, in the end, I didn't know   
   anyone personally who scored as high as I had (a 94 percentile)..   
   Sorry but there's no direct way to convert from our system to the USA system.   
      
   I also, many years later, took a very expensive ($300) I.Q. test for a large   
   company who wanted to hire me for a managerial position. In the end, much to   
   the disappointment of the district supervisor doing the hiring, the head   
   office forced him to promote someone from within.. but just for fun he showed   
   me the results from the I.Q and Psych tests I took over 3 or 4 hours that day   
   and their main comments were that I'd have to work on not getting too close to   
   the employees, I was too 'friendly' and that, given the scores I attained in   
   the math and science portion of the tests, they highly doubted I could have   
   managed that without cheating. Since the guy hiring me was sitting there   
   watching me take the test he knew I hadn't had any chance to cheat so it was   
   all sort of a joke to us.
