<p>“The best study of achievements of precocious children involves the tracking of graduates of Hunter College in New York, which admits only children with an IQ of 155 of greater. None of the students ended up as superstars as adults, even though all them qualified as child prodigies.”</p>
<p>Not only were they not graduates of Hunter College, but they were not all qualified as “child prodigies” either as IQ alone does not a child prodigy make. Indeed, I am not sure if <em>any</em> of those students were displayng adult level skills/talents as young children in order to have a “child prodigy” qualification.</p>
