Itsekuri tärkeämpi kuin äly
Tässäpä teille pähkinä purtavaksi:
Using this better measure of self-discipline, they found that self-discipline was a significantly better predictor of academic performance 7 months later than IQ.
Ja:
Both IQ and self-discipline are correlated with GPA [grade point average], but self-discipline is a much more important contributor: those with low self-discipline have substantially lower grades than those with low IQs, and high-discipline students have much better grades than high-IQ students.
Ja mikä tärkeintä, (älykkyystestillä mitatulla) älykkyydellä ei ole tilastollista yhteyttä itsekurin kanssa.
