   You know that this test has been shown to have a high correlation with future success in live.

     Thanks for the link Jason. I vaguely remember this story on NPR, or some such – which is why when I saw the video on FriendFeed, I just had to post it!

     Unfortunately, I saw myself in the video – I’m the kid who keeps looking out into space, trying to ignore the marshmallow, but still taking little “tastes.” Or, maybe I’m the little girl who had the marshmallow in her mouth before the lady was even done explaining the test.

   I don’t buy marshmallows because I will eat the whole bag…by myself…at one sitting. I shudder to think about what that says about me! Kim
