It does not said anything about intelligence...if thic an be defined at all.

It is even simpler. Give the same exam to two subsets of teachers and tell them in advance if it belongs to an student with very good grades or an student with bad grades adn failing.

Amazingly enough , the good student identical test gets better grades always. The discrepances depend ont he pool of professors. For university professors is rather low,a ctually within two standards deviation.

For high-school and primary school the differences reach easily three sigmas.

This does not mean that the article is right.. but it is indeed possible. It explains what kind of status and rewards we give to different people at different stages in life.

I can tell you that a very good-looking man or woman in a physics class is seen as highly suspicious..but not in economics... they would probably get less or more grades in the experiment designed above...

But maybe their experiment is not properly done. You need blind and double blind experiments...and they do not seem to be worried about that.

A pleasure
