   Yes, I'm used to seeing that '1600' score on American TV and such. Ours tends   
   to vary a bit year to year because a 94 percentile here means that you got a   
   better score than 93% of the people who took the same test. That might not be   
   so impressive on a particularly stupid year..    B)

   I once applied to work for Canada Post thinking a well paid job with good   
   benefits and not so difficult to do sounded pretty good.   
   I got a letter back from them later saying I had scored too high on the exams   
   and if they gave me a job I likely wouldn't stay there for long.   
      
   Similarly, I applied to the Police at one point and was told I was 'too small'   
   to qualify for the job. Ignoring the fact that I was bigger and heavier than   
   they required for women recruits, I was able to lift more than my own weight   
   over my head and almost double my weight off the ground.. oh, and I'm 6 feet   
   tall and at the time weighed about 145 lbs.
