Hmm... I don't think you can measure how well it predicts performance in college, because different colleges might have different levels of difficulty. I suppose within a single school, you could make see if SAT scores correlated with performance, but the people a school accepts are all going to have similar ACT scores for obvious reasons. Of course, intelligence is even worse, because you can't really define it, but one might say that having a low ACT score is often correlated with being stupid.
My main problem with using these standardized tests as a mark of intelligence is that they're obviously biased towards people born and reared in English speaking countries. And even the math section isn't perfect. For example, I got a 35 on the math portion of the ACT
(34 overall).
(BTW, Dan, where are you going to school?)
