I think SAT could be valuable as an alternative to IQ tests or similar, even if it mostly only applies to those in the US. Having something that gives us some information for those in the US is better than not getting that information from anyone.
Do other major countries have analogues of that, BTW? If so, we could ask similar questions applicable to a couple more countries, such as the UK or Canada.¹ (The closest analogue I can think of in Italy is the score (out of 100) on one’s high-school diploma.)

I’m assuming that LW’s readership is distributed more-or-less like the English Wikipedia’s.
I suspect we have more people from Finland, for example, and fewer from India.
I still guess (probability 70%) that the top three countries will be the US, the UK and Canada in this order.
