IF Tua falls....

JP ~ WPT-R is an IQ test and there isnt much preperation that a person can do. Also, if you could and did teach someone how to score better on an IQ test, the results would be meaningless. They didn't have the IQ to sort it for themselves.

For what it is worth, if I am about to hire someone for $400k+ a year.. I want them to take the WPT-R, IQ, Color Blind test, Rorscach Test, they may even take the Pepsi Challenge.

Very Familiar with the test, as I've taken it. What I was getting at was taking the exam cold vs taking a practice exam...

Anecdotally speaking, many folks test poorly because of anxiety(s) of the examination - taking practice exams, familiarity with the question types, will yield better testing results...

Obviously you can't fake intelligence (though some do try, especially congressmen),

...but many players are intelligent, but don't test well because of a lack of familiarity with those exams...
