Oh I know, err kinda.
However the study was started back in 1994, and back then, IQ tests were the shit. Still makes for an interesting read. Also IQ tests aren't exactly out of the picture. There were some articles back in the past few years that tried to make them out to be all bad, however there is strong correlation for those who do well on IQ tests to do well also in scholastic endeavors.
In fact the APA did a nice big study on it.
Also a lot of folks disagree very much with Gardner.
