Elizabeth, you answered 30 out of 30 questions correctly!
Congratulations! Your score is in the 100th percentile. This means that if one hundred people took the test with you, your score would rank higher than 99 of them on average.
When we analyzed your test, we also discovered that when it comes to quantitative ability, you measure in the 100th percentile. This score indicates you have unusually strong abilities when it comes to solving numerical problems. If there is a numerical pattern to be found, you'll find it. You've got a knack for noticing when something "isn't right." Whether you're conscious of it or not, you have an ability to simply understand when something doesn't add up. Also, when it comes to splitting the check, doing taxes, or determining the number of fans in a baseball stadium, you're the one people turn to.
You're a 30!

Today I drove by yet another truck carrying dead trees to some mill or factory where they will be made into cheap furniture that will last five years if lucky. They had lasted nearly a century where they had stood before. The trunks now lie subdued, broken, stolen from the life they were meant to live, taken from the earth, uprooted in shame. Their value? To me, those uprooted trees were shade for a weary soul, playthings for sweet children, the heritage of our earth. Now, limp and lifeless they hang sullen and lowly on the back of a truck which is taking them to be disgraced. No more will they bask in the fire of summer's sun or tickle the heavens with their leaves in springtime. No more will they shelter the soil beneath them, no more, no more, no more. In my heart, I cry a silent tear for them, for all trees cast down without care, for the silent rape of the world in which we live.
