<p>in the book “outliers” the author, malcolm gladwell, writes about a long-term mid-20th century study by a british academic who, much to his own surprise, discovered that students with super high iq’s really were no more successful in life than students whose iq’s were in the 120-140 range. gladwell postulated that an iq of 120-125 was the threshold for being highly successful, but a number of other factors were required to actually achieve high success.</p>
<p>however, i reiterate that the gladchemms schools are far more interested in academic preparedness than in intellectual aptitude.</p>
