It is hard to know at this point so it's great that they are following through on testing.

As far as kids loving subjects that they are good at, and being good at subjects they love, it's really difficult to know which is chicken and which is egg or what percentage.

Think of athletic kids - they seem so 'alive' when they are on the field. No one questions if they are good at it because they love it, or if they love it because they are good. And they don't love it all the time, there are plenty of moments of struggle. To me that just seems like a good discription of how humans are. I think humans are suceptible to feedback loops, or as I'm hearing it called now 'Virtuous Circles.'

Not sure I love the term, but it explains a lot of human behavior, particularly exceptional human behavior.

Good Luck,
