I scored in the 99th percentile in the verbal reasoning section of the GRE and 95th percentile in the quantitative reasoning section. I am thinking of putting documented proof of those scores on my profile, not really to brag or anything, but kind of just like one more brick in the overall structure that is my virtual CV/resume. Thoughts on this?
Yes, but it's not nearly as important as your GED.
What is your SAT score? ACT? The quant/math on the GRE is a joke. Not as hard as SAT and ACT.
You should def put those on first. Maybe take the MCAT or GMAT and put those scores on.
I graduated high school last spring and still have my test scores all over my resume.
Of course! Nothing says "clueless" as loudly as old test scores.
No.
Nobody respects verbal "reasoning" scores.

Ha, ha.
No, you should not. Nor your GPA.
No one who would hire you cares (you're not trying to get a job taking tests), and it makes you look completely clueless. It will make you stand out from the pack, but not in a good way.
If you want to look like an a hole who only understands education absolutely!

You should put your 5k PR on there for sure. Be honest though because they could check on athlinks.

Wrong. (I used to write CVs professionally.) But you should put your Crossfit Triple-G Chipper time...that's how you get the corner office.
No bc it proves you are so inept you could not use your academic connections to get into grad school and with free tuition.

99th percentile across the board.
And still, nobody respects verbal "reasoning" scores.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Sorry about your deduction skills, dude.
How far out of school are you? I think it’s more reasonable for someone who just graduated than for someone a few years out. But maybe rather than write the test scores because that does look strange use a workaround like mention you were magna c*m laude or a national merit scholar (which you should have been if you’re that good at the standardized tests, probably.)
Hahahaha I couldn’t figure out why I kept tripping the language censor ...
I’m going to say yes. As a favor to potential employers so they can weed you out instantly

The GRE and GMAT are the same quant. The GRE is slightly more difficult as it’s geared for engineers and math folks. And the GMAT is just general.
And the GRE math is a lot harder than the SAT math. Maybe the fact that you take the GRE after college makes it seem easier. Try taking the SAT now and you’ll get a perfect score.
Ask a career advisor at your college for help with what you should put on your Linked-In profile.
The basic idea of LinkedIn is that you don't include the size of your penis. You list the impressive women who have relied on you over the years to make their lives better.
I think it depends on the job you are looking for? For example, in business school, consulting companies and investment banks wanted to see your GMAT on your resume. Other companies did not care. Not sure about the GRE, but I would think it would be industry-specific. But probably not, TBH, but at the end of the day, I doubt it's a deal breaker for any potential employer.
Though I have done a fair amount of hiring and I would say that there are worse things to put in your LinkedIn or resume. My cringe-worthy thing it elite high schools (St. John's is the big one here in Houston that people like to out on their resumes / LinkedIn). Nothing says I have a silver spoon in my mouth and haven't had to work for my achievements like putting an elite high school on your resume or referencing it on your LinkedIn....
