The Europeans, and the English especially, have a system that divides the Really Smart Folks (Registereed TM) from the Regular Jans and Juanitas early on in school. An improvement would be that if you score OVER 1400 (or 1350 old style, as you note), you go into a category where the 1200-1400's -- the people most likely to understand what the hell you're up to -- check up on you from time to time to see if you've produced any ideas worth shipping out to the masses. In theory, it makes sense. It's not the people with no smarts who rule the world, but the people who know that they're pretty good but not infallible. And it takes the above 1400's, who don't think they need to listen to anyone else, out of the decision-making forum and into the advising forum.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-1135451290685093302005-12-24T14:08:00.000-05:002005-12-24T14:08:00.000-05:001200-1400 huh?
