Well, just so that everyone knows, I'm not sure that "tilt" there even MATTERS beyond 98th percentile scores.

DD and I are both prime examples. Oh, sure-- our verbal scores > math, but math is still well above the 90th percentile any way you choose to measure it.

I have a PhD in a physical science, and had no real intellectual/cognitive struggles getting there. DD finds STEM more challenging than the humanities, but she is often bored with the humanities because it has to move at SUCH a slow pace for most of her peers-- and it's all sort of obvious to her, and doesn't feel "real." Ergo-- STEM.


Interesting info on teaching code languages, Bostonian-- that echoes what DD was told during advising for her CS major.
