[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a ranking of people who play this company's on-line games. You might ask yourself why college students would have the time or interest in playing these games and how that would affect the rankings.[/quote]

Yet the results are highly correlated each school's SAT averages.  Sorry your alma mater fared poorly.[/quote]

My alma mater is Princeton.  I didn't check to see how it fared because I don't care.

There are all sorts of reasons to wonder if these are skewed.  Wouldn't more males than females play on-line games?  Wouldn't more STEM students than humanities students?

But hey if you want your child to select a school based on this silliness (I think all rankings are silly, but this one takes the cake) go at it.[/quote]

So you didn't read the article, didn't review the research, and don't know what Luminosity is, yet still feel qualified to criticize the findings? Wow.  That's regressing critical thinking to a new level.

I  find the whole project rather ingenious and the results interesting.[/quote]
