I once took an aptitude in art test as a teenager. It consisted of facing pages of Kandinsky-esque designs and I was to choose the best design on each set of pages. My score was percentile 3. I was told that 97% of people taking the test scored better than I did. I replied that all of the designs were bad and that the test was a flop. I also knew right away that I had an art career ahead. wc
