Colorado School of Mines Students Are Smarter Than Harvard’s
Luminosity recently performed a study of the brainiest students in the U.S., and looks like our Colorado undergrads beat out an Ivy League institution.
The company offered a 'Fit Test' to a test group of 75,000 students, which included games focusing around memory, attention, and flexibility skills, to name a few. According to 9News, "The study was adjusted for differences in age and gender across different schools and only included users who completed Luminosity’s three-game Fit Test."
The final ranking showed Dartmouth College at #1, and Colorado School of Mines at #4. Harvard finished fifth. You can try the Fit Test for yourself right here.
