[edit] Reorganization of Article, Addition of Content

I thought this article was kind of messy, and so I cleaned it up a little bit and added sections headers, reorganizing the content and adding more, clarifying, etc. I also added a link to a document at Harcourt. And I specifically removed the personal anecdotes from people who said that a certain score they received was at a certain percentile. That didn't seem Wikipedia-esque. And besides, percentiles can be determined using the standard deviation of 25 from the center at 400.

But this was my first larger edit on a Wikipedia page, so please let me know if I did anything wrong or violated any rules of etiquette.

I still think the article needs a lot of work, but I am not up to adding more just yet.

[edit] scoring?

The article says "Tests taken in October 2004 or later have a score range from 200 to 600."; but current ads for geek community say >66 for 2 percentile, >74 for 1 percentile, mind society say >74. Gzuckier 18:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I took the test myself. They no longer use raw scores. You get a score between 200 and 600, and that is what Harcourt has in the official document (the one in the references section). Also, it's probably that the geek community is still accepting pre-Oct2004 scores. -L.
