[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the above. There were quite a few "profoundly gifted" kids in my graduating class that didn't have the grades for a top school OR who got to a good school and then didn't finish college because they didn't have a strong work ethic, didn't do their homework, etc.[/quote] Why do you think this is? Because they weren't used to working hard for good grades? Or just lack of a work ethic?[/quote] Some people I know think they are smarter than other people (and their parents tell them they are) and have trouble taking instruction from others because they think they know more than everyone, but there is still IMO a lot they can learn from others. They have high IQs but cannot hold down jobs. [/quote]
