[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It seems to me that the people who do best in life overall are not often those who had the highest scores as young kids.[/quote] I'm not sure where you are getting this data. There are instances such as sales where social IQ and the drive to make money enhance success far more than academic performance or IQ but in general kids with high scores do better in life. Interestingly, it is not always because they are smart. The kids that score better are treated as if they are smart and they believe that they are smart. They have better confidence which is more important than IQ. Kids that don't score well are not given extra help or motivated to work harder. They are accepted as less smart, expectations are lowered by teachers and <b>they get tracked as the B or C students probably headed to a second or third tier state school to become education majors</b>.
