<p>Not necessarily. My Sal friend never talked about his SAT scores or grades…he didn’t even list his GPA or his Sal rank on his resume right before graduation. </p>
<p>By contrast, I sometimes reveled in ****ing off obnoxious parents/classmates in high school by making a big deal of my low class ranking(Bottom 50%), “negative SAT scores”, and pointing out that despite all that…managed to gain admission to a respectable private LAC. </p>

<p>Only a crass subset of rich people or high SAT scorers would act as you described. Most people I know who are wealthy and/or high SAT scorers are secure enough in themselves to never feel the need to even make note…much less brag about their wealth/scores. In fact, some feel such behavior to be quite unseemly and shows a distinct lack of class they disdainfully associate with “social climbers”.</p>

<p>This is one of the only times when asking someone’s scores is acceptable IMHO. There’s nothing wrong with putting an obnoxious braggart in his/her place by asking him/her to “put up or shut up”.</p>
