The predictor was something I developed while contemplating the various
factors leading to real world "success". Your definition of "success"
might be different. My predictor forecasts financial income potential of
an individual.

Remarkably, the predictor, crude as it is, works quite well. Run the test
on the people you know well, e.g., your families, best friends, and
yourself. You'd be surprised how reliable the predictor is.

Good looks help, rich daddy helps, along with other factors.
