Wow. eek

Agreed with many of your points, especially this one. It's the same point that I tried to make concerning college admissions when others argued that college admissions should be based purely on ACT / SAT or some other entrance exam score. There is much more to predicting the probable success than a simple test score.....as many if not most college students and especially GT students can vouch to. If you put people who don't have the majority of tools required (not just the knowledge or intellect) to be successful, you're much less likely to produce the desired results.
