I showed someone my scores in the Literacy Dept. he was hard pressed to
understand how I scored 6 points above the mean on TaskI the hard part and
1 point on Task II. He set up an appointment with me for March 6, at 1PM to
go over how I handled Task II he said it might have been a biased issue.
I got an A in English so how the hell I failed with my shortcomings. I
worked as an accountant for 27 years so writing was not my forte I inched my
way into numbers where I excell.
However verbally I scored on the WAIS in the genius level. This guy sort of
really wants to pursue this issue he feels they are passing some who do not
deserve to pass and failing others. His honest gut was they want the middle
class to go to private schools therefore flunk them out of CUNY
