I only took the ACT, that's all that I was required to take.

Did well enough on it to score a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship 50 years ago.

I'm a big fan of "anti-intellectualism". LOL, my senior philosophy professor ripped the veneer off the mystery surrounding philosophy: "you have to understand with philosophy, it's not what you say, but how you say it. Philosophy is nothing but a bunch of BS."

My major was in public accounting, but I earned an unofficial minor in critical thinking, thanks to my accounting professor.

Tests were always 5 essay questions. Two, sometimes three of the questions required a first sentence of, "based on the information you've given me, I cannot answer the question." Then you told him "why".

He was my sole accounting professor for over 30 semester hours.

“I only took the ACT, that’s all that I was required to take.”

Got a National Merit Scholarship based on my SAT scores. Free tuition through college. One day on Parris Island, my Senior Drill Instructor told my platoon that I had the highest GT score on the Island, with the possible exception of the Regimental Commander.

I bet my scores beat hers.
