Analyzing Oppenheimer's 'The Outliers'

Gladwell (2009) points out in chapter 3 and 4 of the Outliers that we possess a misunderstanding of the meaning of success. American education links the results of testing in children to offer them greater opportunities, depending in their IQ. But a high IQ result doesn’t measure the levels of creativity or creative thinking Therefore, Gladwell believes that success is the outcome from having a high IQ, education and upbringing. Gladwell proves his point by using Terman’s experiments, and the result proves that Gladwell was right all along by suggesting that children with superior scores aren’t necessarily the most successful adults.
Mr. Gladwell
One of the analogies that caught my attention is how Oppenheimer’s story differs from Lagan’s.
