[quote=Anonymous]NYTines quotes a Harvard researcher who provided a very convincing critique of this paper. Apparently, it combines two kinds of studies - the ones that tracked child prodigies and the ones that looked at the backgrounds of the adults defined as successful. There is no split of the results of the two types, and the following might be happening: most child prodigies eventually flame out, but most super successful adults were recognized as gifted children, late bloomers are a minority. Also, some of the underlying studies on adults measured success based on income, meaning that a Wall Street quant would be considered more successful than an academic who won the Fields medal.[/quote]
