I would place very low on IQ tests. Whenever I'm asked a question of no relevance to me, I usually say "Who cares?"
I had to take a placement test when I entered the first grade to see which level of first graders I belonged to.
I completely failed the test. I was placed among a group of kids who still had trouble wetting their pants.
The second day of school, the teacher discovered I could already read quite well.
She asked, If you could read as well as you do, why did you fail that placement test?"
I told her that I was told the test would show where I should be placed. Since I didn't want to go to school, I hoped to place low enough not to even be placed.
She got a big laugh out of that. She also turned out to be my favorite of my teachers. |
