Some of us over 50’s might remember the movie with CliffRobertson from 1968 called Charly that was adapted from a great book calledFlowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyses. I would highly recommend both. Having recentlywatched the movie again it’s a good flashback to the 60’s you might enjoy andit deals with the IQ topic in an interesting way. I remember reading the bookin High School and then watching the movie at an impressionable age and aroundthe same time we were doing standardized testing and I was also taking anelective class about physiology, and we took and scored IQ tests on each other.I remember knowing each other’s scores of these mock tests and it was amusing watchinghow some students finding out they were a couple points lower than someone theyfigured they were smarter than beat themselves up in the knowledge. I’m sure intoday’s world the teacher would be fired for a curriculum anything close tothis.
At about the same time I was taking a lot of what they thencalled industrial arts classes and a drafting teacher I had a lot of respectfor I remember saying one day that in the real world most of the “A” students endup working for some of the “C” students. The reasoning being the “C’s” werelearning it wasn’t easy and that drive later turns into them becoming thestarting up businesses and putting in the long hours etc. In many cases I haveseen that to hold true in life.
Check out the movie I think you can even find it on line towatch.
