When I told my eighth grade guidance counselor I was going to be a professional hockey player, and I didn’t need a “backup plan,” she scoffed, looked at my mom, and announced she would be writing in my record, “business.”
As it turns out, the counselor was right about the hockey. But she was wrong about the business. (Although I write for the Business section of the Boston Globe, I cannot say I am much of a businessman.)
Now University of California scientists are saying that brain scans might prove more effective than aptitude tests at guessing what you will be good at…
“A person’s pattern of cognitive strengths and weaknesses is related to their brain structure, so there is a possibility that brain scans could provide unique information that would be helpful for vocational choice. Our current results form a basis to investigate this further.”
