You're More Likely to Be a Disruptor If You Got Lower Grades in School: Study
- tdeck 9y agoFirst of all, this is blogspam. The link to the "study" actually just links to another news article. This seems like it might be the actual study: http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED368304.pdf http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED368304.pdf Second, note the sample: > In addition to 51 valedictorians, study participants include 20 salutatorians and 9 top honor students.(Salutatorians were included on the urging of members of a pilot study of high school valedictorians. Nine students who were neither valedictorians nor salutatorians also were included on the advice of school administrators who identified these students as the "real" top students at their high school. In other words, this study only included a relatively small number of people, at the top of their class, So how can it support the headline conclusion in the headline?
- gonvaled 9y agoThere are more people with low grades than with high grades, so it is not surprising that if you are a disruptor you are probably a low grade type. The interesting question.is: what is the percent of disruptors in low grade types? And in high grade types? Still, not that interesting, since you are not really a sample “low grade“ or “high grade“, but a more specific type (“you“), where maybe completely different characteristics dominate.
