A high score represents a very large number of hours spent reading, learning, thinking, and doing schoolwork.

<p>But, how does one explain the number of academic slackers who score high each and every year? Or, how to explain the direct correlation between test scores and income? Or, how to explain the correlation between test scores and only a few Myers-Briggs personality types, regardless of IQs? Or, how to explain a huge merit scholarship for one additional bubble completed correctly vs. zero merit scholarship for the extra correct bubble?</p>
