The answer after the jump.

The answer: between 4 and 10 percent.

Surprised? So was I. By the way, confining yourself only to the answers presented is a symptom of excessive Left brain directed thinking. It is a result of the conditioning we have received in a society that focuses on measuring our abilities using standardized tests.

This means that the people with the highest IQs are not guaranteed to be successful. Further, people with low IQs are not doomed to a life of failure. Do not allow your SAT, ACT, GMAT, LSAT or MCAT scores to determine your success. They are merely instruments that measure your ability to narrow down answers and choose the correct one.  Do not let yourself be discouraged by standardized tests. Although they are important gatekeepers in our society, they are by no means the only gatekeepers. I say its time to build your own friggin gate!

Make your visions & dreams a reality!
