My SATs were 790 Quant, 650 Verbal.  My most enduring friendships matched
my verbal score but were well below my quant.  The friendships I had
in college that did not last tended to match my quant but were usually
below my verbal.  Don't have specific numbers, just remember comparing
scores with a number of friends.  I was also a potential failed prodigy
but that is a story for another time.  BTW, the attitude that one is
so much better than others (which I still affect on occasion) is the
best interpersonal poison I know of aside from bad hygiene (and shaved
armpits on women (:-)).
