The ones that have the best verbal scores are certainly better all along the spectrum of learning. I can also say that the difference is obvious in those that I see daily in my confirmation classes and even among adults. Thanks for the connection with the articles and for the comments. I just want you to know that I am not out to harm your self-esteem.
