It’s interesting how one can read the excerpt in two different ways:
“wow, IQ isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, look at how none of the sample won Nobels but two rejected did”
“wow, in this tiny sample of a few hundred kids, they used a test which was so accurate in predicting future accomplishment that if the sample had been just a little bit bigger, it would have picked up two future Nobels—people whose level of accomplishment are literally one in millions, and it does this by only posing some boring puzzles without once looking at SES, personality, location, parents, interests, etc!”
