Am I thick?--- Aptitude Tests

Hi, I have a job interview in a few days and they want me to take a
psychometric test which I presume will include maths, spatial awareness
etc...

Anyway, having only done one beofe around 15 years ago -- which I did badly
in -- I thought I'd have a practice.

So anyway, I didn't get below average, I managed to get LOW in ALL the
tests. Which was quite dissapointing to say the least.

Anyway, I don't consider myself to be a genius, but I do possess a BSc
First Class Honours in Computing. I'm also a reasonable programmer - not
brilliant, but not too bad - hell I even get paid to do for a living.

Now my question is, why am I so hopeless at these tests? Can I improve my
scores? Or should I give my career to become a road-sweeper?

Am I just a very lucky idiot who fluked a First (75% average) in very a
technical degree at a decent university?

What's wrong with me?
