I first saw this image (below) about the Reaction Range Model in a psychology book years ago. It really struck me, as I felt it somewhat explained my path of education. Basically, it proposes that a person’s genetic makeup determines the LIMITS on his or her IQ, and that environmental factors determine WHERE within this range the person’s IQ will actually fall.<\/p>\n

Reaction Range Model – Genetics vs Environment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Growing up, I would say that I was more like Jack<\/em> (bottom left), but in an Average environment, in an average grade school and high school; not really being pushed very hard. Later though, going through college at Georgia Tech definitely put\u00a0me in a quality learning environment, pushing me to the max of my capabilities, like Tom<\/em> (top left).<\/p>\n

Regardless \u00a0of how much the above model is true, I do think it’s important to be surrounded with people smarter than you are – it’s the best way to learn and achieve your full potential.\u00a0I feel very fortunate to be where I am today.<\/p>\n
