"The reason I bring this up is that by sneaking into the school office a friend got access to all our IQ scores. Of our bunch of nerds, I had the highest and Marshall the lowest, yet by most accounts Marshall has been much more successful." LOL............one summer at home from college, a friend and I were working for our local school system, doing lawn work, painting, floors, cleaning, etc......well someone had been vandalising the high school at night when no one was around. So our boss had us work an unusual 3rd shift for a week...our job was to basically guard the high school, mainly by keeping an eye out for the vandal. Well, youthful idiots that we were, and in keeping with the times, we went outside the school side door one night to smoke some pot. About 3/4 of the way through the joint (back in those days it wasn't so potent as now), we see our vandal approaching the school. He clearly had seen us, and knew we had seen him, so he walked right up to us. He explained that since we were apparently just a couple of "heads" (yes, he had noticed us tokin' up), and not hard ass security types, he thought he'd check us out. He freely admitted to being the vandal, and had a knapsack which he said was full of rocks. Anyway, we cut a deal whereby as long as he never came back, then we had never seen him (we were not real anxious for word of our tokin' up on school grounds and on the job, to get back to our boss). All sides were happy with the deal, and he never vandalised the school again. All of which is just a side story. Reading your post reminded me that during our week on 3rd shift guard duty at the high school, we too raided our files in the main office, from when were students there just a couple years before. Our main goal wasn't to discover our IQ results, though we did see them. We were just curious as to what was in our files. According to our IQ scores, we were neither average nor gifted, but somewhere in between. Anyway, thanks for triggering some smiling memories.

The fundamental truth that you need to keep in mind is that where human beings are concerned all simple explanations are wrong. LTM.

It lends support to the old saying "99% perspiration and 1% inspiration" Imagine what might happen when the inspired begin to perspire?
