My 16 year old son took a practice ACT and an aptitude test in March. We got the results back in the mail today and I was floored when I saw the results.
The practice ACT is scaled 1-25 with 25 being the highest. Son’s score was 24 and they estimated if he took the actual ACT in the next 6 months his score would be in the 99th percentile. So yeah, pretty proud there!
Then I read the results of the aptitude test. That kind of scared me. I’ve talked about my son before, he’s a 16 year old computer geek. He refers to himself as a geek, so I’m not being mean to him by saying that. In the past when people tell him not to call himself a geek he reminds them that Bill Gates is a geek and people usually shut up. Son is teaching me to write computer code, but that story is in another thread. He doesn’t play online games anymore. He and a few online friends, write their own games. They got sick of facebook/twitter/tumblr so they are writing their own social media site, with son doing most of the coding. So he is completely immersed in computers and all things virtual. This is what his aptitude test results said:
Strong mathematical and logical/critical thinking skills: Best suited to a job in Accounting; potential careers include CPA, CFO, and Financial analyst.
WHAT? Do I laugh or cry at these results?
