Congrats, you're one of the smart people in the world. Managers don't really need a whole lot more than what's tested on the GMAT, math-wise. They need to be able to interpret business questions, have decent intuition and do relatively simple math relatively quickly.

As far as standardized exams go, the GMAT is rather challenging given the time constraint and the fact that the exam adjusts to match your skill level with each response influencing the next that is asked

My comment might have come across as bragging. What I should have stated explicitly is that, being a typical HN poster, my experience shows that the GMAT would not be a difficult exam for most HN readers.
