<p>Ya, I see a distinct lack of Caltech.</p>

<p>SAT/ACT scores are too correlated with smartness for this to be true. ^_^</p>

<p>The full study, even though its methods do correlate with SAT, suggests that Princetonians are weaker than Lafayette when it comes to these metrics. :/</p>

<p>Pretty interesting. You have to blame admissions policies for the differemce, right? Or the schools?</p>

<p>I am a Princeton student and I can confirm that:
AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR DAT !(games :stuck_out_tongue: )</p>

<p>Yeah, that ‘study’ has been tossed around here a few times already.</p>

<p>Oh no! I knew I made the wrong decision! I SHOULD HAVE MATRICULATED TO U OF PORTLAND! Everyone there is SO SMART! Thank GOD Lumosity conducted this incredibly INFORMATIVE study! </p>

<p>The non-representative sample sizes, rankings based on statistically insignificant data (difference of merely 7 points for 30 ranking places???) and exclusion of well known research universities like Caltech have made me SO convinced that I’m currently filling out my transfer application to UPortland! Pacific Northwest HERE I COME</p>

<p>The fact that Caltech isn’t on there makes me believe this is just another terrible Yahoo article</p>

<p>Complete rubbish.</p>

<p>Lol what a joker list…where’s Caltech?</p>

<p>Now that Princeton has accepted me I take back my implied insult to princeton’s admission policies. >.></p>

<p>Interesting to note that the company behind this study, Lumosity, has its two co-founders (CEO and CSO) as well as its CFO who received their undergraduate degrees from Princeton.</p>

<p>They probably just walked into Princeton and said, oh wow, people are sociable. Can’t be that smart if they can communicate among each other</p>

<p>Caltech isn’t there because California doesn’t have a good enough “nerd” vibe, apparently.</p>
