Was also in GT program back in the day.....probably helps to be fairly smart but also persistent and unwavering.

Quote from volente_00:

Interesting subject.

I would like to see statistics on the % of profitable traders that participated in gifted and talented programs in early education and if there is a correlation between the two.

In the early 80's I was labeled gifted and talented and participated in the gt program at my elementary school. I was chosen due to consistently scoring in the top 5% or greater on the standardized progress tests that were given in each grade. To be honest I don't remember much about the program other than we were taught how to program in logo using apple computers and we would convene in small groups and constantly brainstorm. This was my first introduction to using pc's. I do remember the teacher went above and beyond to challenge our critical thinking skills and I would sometimes get into trouble for being lazy since I was used to being bored in regular class.
