Out there*

It’s incredibly accurate in predicting legal success.

140: there’s probably not a human on earth including homeless crackheads that can’t bust their ass to get in this range. So you know either the person was a below average student in high school/college and didn’t prepare at all or the person is a stone cold retard and worked his ass off. Reject either way.

150: if a normal dude…maybe slightly below average… who went to HS/shitty college busted his ass he can probably get in this range. You’re not gonna find any major leaguers in this range.

160: in this range you know the person probably was a 4.0 student in college and took some bullshit like economics or philosophy and probably studied really hard. A little bit of intelligence horse power behind them but nothing spectacular. Or maybe some really smart dude who never opened a book and walked in cold. Probably the best range if you’re the person in charge of hiring at a Shitlaw firm or “mid law”. Not gonna see many of them in the big leagues…might see one or two in the bigs but at the higher end of the range.

*this is my range btw at 168 after working very hard and doing all the practice tests*

170-173: : now is when you start to get the dudes with big league talent. They are superior intelligence and worked hard. Or they’re really really intelligent and didn’t really prepare. You’re getting a major leaguer at this level. He might not be an all star but definitely a major leaguer.

174- 180: now you’re dealing with pure intelligence and people who worked hard. The sweet spot for elite spots. These people’s brains just work differently.

Pretty much everyone I’ve met in these ranges fell in line with what I described. I got lucky and realized this and got out of the private sector and copped a sweet government gig where my competition are the 150’s and got that $250k salary, pension and PSLF. Other people are full blown morons who don’t know their place.

But what other standardized test predicts this?

Verbal standardized tests in general just seem a bit better at predicting IQ

Anything over like low 160s is enough. The vast majority of firm jobs require very little intellectual rigor, just grind. So unless you’re an appellate lawyer or something, it doesn’t matter.

When I first came in this board it was 2009 and I asked legit advice about my 168 LSAT and I was ridiculed. Something that stuck out to me was one random poaster says “Actually, the LSAT was named after my great uncle William Brentwood LeSat.” And for some reason I thought that was hilarious so I kept poasting. I had about a year of juice left on TLS before I was eventually banned and outed to my law school for letting my autoadmit jokes migrate there but everyone thought it was hilarious.

About a week later someone poasted a flame thread that said Rick Ross was actually smart and was a big lawyer for about 6 months before leaving for his record label. I thought that was true and I told someone at my law school and they’re like wtf are you talking about? (Actually benefitted me bc they thought I was flaming and they thought I was funny after that).

it's amazing how many 175+ LSAT types I see on twitter (just using hyper elite law schools as a proxy) make some of the most dogshit arguments imaginable that have all the same flaws that LR tests for. i guess ideology/tribalism is blinding.

Yeah not saying there aren’t outliers. But in my experience the dudes at my trap law school who were 170mos, AND worked hard/smart were unstoppable. But I can see there being a lot of 170mos who are just gifted but always thought they were too cool for school and end up on twitter 15 years later
