In regards to how smart someone is coming out of highschool.

It's very good at measuring your ability to do well on standardized tests.

Kid's over inflated GPA didn't jive with his ACT score?

No they are pretty accurate actually. Not everyone is good at standardized testing but there is a reason it has been around for as long as it has. A lot of my buddies in high school that weren't to bright didn't score well, while my friends that were smart did score well. Go figure. Sorry bud. Shave your beard and enjoy your career at chick-fil-a

Must be one of those "bad test takers".

ETA: it's a better IQ barometer than GPA for damn sure.

I knew a guy who made a 2. I didn't know that was possible, but he accomplished it.

Maybe not accurate as to how "smart" they are but pretty accurate as to how prepared they are coming out of high school.

At least it's a hell of a lot better to use as a barometer (most of the time) over their high school GPA and/or how charming of a smile they have.

Not impressed unless you also bench 350 and bang OT 8's on the reg.
