SAT relates to intelligence. I wanted to see how that relates to poker players.

No, it doesn't and nobody affiliated with ETS claims it does. I won't even get into the issue of racial or class bias but the SAT Math and Verbal are merely tests of knowledge. A high score is more indicative of the exposure to the mathematical concepts and vocabulary than it indicates a high native intelligence. There are tests, however flawed that aim to measure intelligence; they are called IQ tests. Heck, with this new fangled thing called the internet you might even get a bunch of posters to take the same free IQ test and then have your results, you know, mean something.
More importantly, the SAT was re-centered in the mid 90s because our nation's increasingly poor students scored lower on it with each successive year. So a 1200 in 1991 is a much better score than a 1200 in 1997 which further screws with your data.
