First I.Q. Test

Those who see the value of I.Q. tests and the separation of children into groups based on them - may be practicing eugenics by culling the best of one group to interact (and be influenced by) the best of another group.

The first "IQ" tests given are often the simple "Draw A Man" tests.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw-A-Person_Test
One's ability to notice and interpret (see and draw) details at an early age is considered by some to be an indicator of their cognitive skills and mental maturity.



The first drawing would be considered remedial for a kindergartner but the second would be deemed to be more expressive and insightful.

Is the ability to draw an early indicator of being able to thrive at M.I.T.?
