I know Tanya, and she most certainly is creative enough to fail their tests. It's clear she was trying to conform, and did a job that was good enough for its purpose.

But she is certainly creative enough to fail, and way more intelligent (for pretty much any meaning of the term) than the test will have indicated.



It's for sure that those tests are not good for measuring the top end. The post calls in to question that any test could do so, but its clear that in any event, that test is not it.
