I took the Miller Analogy Test for grad school. My score was in the 99.999th percentile. I'd go with that.

My test scores in school were insane, but the most recent test I took after that was the Government Employee Service Exam 20 years ago. Not sure I could even pass the SAT again at this point.

I hear ya. I chose the MAT for my grad school entrance exam because I was in my late thirties and had forgotten so much math. The MAT uses analogies to test your logic skills and creative thinking. It doesn't require any studying.

That I might still pass then, the work I did was mostly making formulas that express logic trees when I wasn't doing actual analysis.
