It has occurred to me that students were possibly used for DARPA's accelerated learning program.

An excerpt of key language: "neuroscience-based noninvasive strategies with potential to dramatically accelerate transition from novice to expert in key military tasks"

Additionally as of 2006, the WHO has an interest in testing effects of radio-frequencies on cognition. (remember that "gifted" students have anomalous bio-electrical activities.)

"acute effects on cognition and EEGs should
also be investigated in children exposed to RF fields in the laboratory."

While I doubt that this is actually the case, stranger things are true. It would make sense to use funds efficiently and bundle projects. Of course, compartmentalization of information is also important.

If one was to look at what researchers @ universities were working on... who knows?

I forgot to mention some other things:

* Bright - 115 and above /they all finished college and have kids.
* Gifted - 130 and above /they all finished college.
* Highly gifted - 145 and above /didn't know anyone in this range.
* Exceptionally gifted -160 and above /most of these guys are unemployed but finished college, in relationships.
* Profoundly gifted - 175 and above /unemployed.

This is taken from a link from the thread the shills have taken over, it seems unspecific enough but is good for thought... mainly about successful social integration at higher intelligence levels:

(you might not have been told your results if they were deemed to be "too high"/they'd cause a psychological change.)

GATE students were less than .02% of the student population. If we were a species we'd practically be extinct.
