I was one of those not great test takers, ok I am not gifted LOL. But school came easy for me, I hardly studied have an MA. But I didn't even break a 1000 on the SATs. I just hated tests like that. But if I knew what I needed to study then I would do great. So am I naturally smart eh I would say no, but if I know what to study I will do great. So IQ tests are not the end all and be all.
