Poor kids grow up with patents who can’t often fulfil their promises, rich kid man grow up with parents who can. The test is less about some inherent quality a person that can effect their future performance and more about their expectations given their expererience. The fatal flaw in the original experiment is that they assume that the child is give with 100% certainty a choice between instant and delayer gratifications, when is fact the delayed gratification is contingent in their trust in the experimenter. I’d wager if you did the experiment with one test being a fully trusted adult and the other being a fully distrusted adult but the same kid in both cases you would get both outcomes.
