[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I enjoyed reading PP's post from Wikipedia concerning reversion to the mean. I immediately thought of a family from my hometown. I went to school with two kids who were considered slow. Very slow. They found each other and married. We all cringed, wondering what their family would become. Well, their 3 daughters are incredibly intelligent. I don't know if any of them is a genius, per se, but they are all above-average. It's amazing to watch and see those 3 kids throughout town, since everybody had written off their parents. So it was interesting to realize that reversion to the mean works both ways. Any extreme characteristic of a parent will be reduced a bit towards average. Two extreme parents, on either side of intelligence, could end up with very different kids. Thanks DCUM! I learned something today![/quote]
