I don't think a 1206 is that shabby, Hell, in '76, an 1180, along with
decent academic achievement could get you accepted to CMU,
MIT and others. It is also a dubious argument to equate public speaking with
intelligence.

Really? In 1979, an 1180 would get you into an average state school.
It wouldn't get you anywhere near MIT. In '79, you had to be pushing
1400 to be in the 98th percentile,

Sorry, but that isn't true. 98th percentile qualifies one for membership in
Mensa, and the minimum SAT to qualify for Mensa at that time was 1250, i.e
that was the 98th percentile. 1400 would have been at the 99-point-something
percentile.
