Quick necromancer act:
I just noticed on Wikipedia that Ben Bernanke scored a 1590 out of 1600 on his SAT, and that reminded me of this thread. Even though he took the test prior to 1974*, such a score would still indicate an IQ wayyyyyyyyy above 112. No matter how blind or corrupt Bernanke may be, I'm going to have to call bullshit on the 112 story.
*Actually, it's hard to tell whether the pre-1974 test was "easier" or "harder" than the post-1974 test. Looking around, it seems like it became easier to score "relatively high" after 1974 than beforehand, but it also seems like it became much harder to score near the top after 1974. Based on what I'm looking at (not very reliable sources though), it seems as though the ceiling was still way higher even after the 1995 recentering than it was prior to 1974.
