- Mathew Prull says:

- "Anyway, those individuals who have achieved a high level of scientific
- eminence in a broad range of disciplines---perhaps including
- psychology---in years past typically possessed one or more of these
- three personality characteristics much more often than those in the
- general population: 1) they were left-handed, 2) they wore
- glasses, and 3) suffered from asthma.
-
- And of course if you possess all three then YOU WILL achieve
- scientific eminence!!! "

- 1) I use my left hand to play chords on the guitar.
- 2) I wear sunglasses.
- 3) When I run on smoggy days I sometimes develop a cough.
-
- So will I SORT OF achieve scientific eminence?
-
- Or am I doomed to obscurity?
