@33girl, the basis of this concept is to differentiate between the kid who hasn't "blossomed" yet (and who might do that 180 in college) and the one who looks good on paper but is headed for failure. Why? Because this looks at underlying character traits that are a strong indicator of future success, rather than just looking at prior accomplishments. Those two examples you cite -- the surprising sorority bleeders vs the blobs of lard -- are exactly why DubaiSis shared this concept as an alternative for evaluating potential members. Sure, the way this concept is executed in the school systems cited wouldn't work for sorority recruitment, but the concept is still worth exploring.
