Good grief. I came from a poor family and I’m smart. At least I think so! Our parents and grandparents weren’t all born into middle class homes and they did very well for themselves. Some of these studies are so ridiculous and this is just one of them.

Raised poor here too. Wealth as absolutely no bearing on intelligence, period.

There was a story about a homeless girl (living in a car with her mother) who scored a perfect 1600 on her SAT. Nothing wrong with that gray matter. That calls for scholarship!
