Diana links to a page that has SAT scores of famous people. But, as the page notes, they are unverified. I find John Kerry’s score, 1190, plausible, but some of the others I don’t buy. Howard Stern getting an 870 for example. Or Al Franken’s 1020, he went to Harvard during the meritocratic tenure (and it seems impplausible that a Minnesota Jew would have connections in any case). Some of the others are confusing to me. Paul Allen is listed at 1600, but why did he go to Washington State University? (he and Gates were both affluent private school kids, and Gates went to Harvard like his SES and scores would indicate)
Steve will have more to say later on Kerry, I predict the guy is a lot dumber on on standardized tests that many liberals would have assumed. Perhaps 1 SD below Gore?
