The secrets of the ‘high-potential’ personality
-
- Competitiveness
- Risk approach (or courage)
- Curiosity
- Ambiguity acceptance
- Adjustment
- Conscientiousness
The truth, of course, is a little more nuanced. It turns out the same traits, in excess, may also impede your performance, and the real secret to success may be to know exactly where you fall on each spectrum, and how to make the most of your strengths and account for your weaknesses.

Middle School Science Minute

The Advantages of Biodegradable Products
I was recently reading the February, 2018 issue of “Science Scope,” a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.
In this issue, I read an article in the Disequilibrium section, “The Advantages of Biodegradable Products,” written by Todd Hoover. The article helps teachers design a 5E Unit to help students visualize the differences between polystyrene and starch-based packing peanuts.

The Letter G
In fact, researchers discovered that most people didn’t even realise there were two different forms of the letter — the looptail and the opentail.
“Many researchers are thinking now that learning to write plays an important role in learning to read,” said Professor McCloskey. “We’re writing less and less in our culture nowadays.”
