A common denominator in great people
#2
RE: A common denominator in great people
You would also need a control group of non-extraordinary people to ensure that the common feature is not just common to everyone. Also, be careful you're not going on a fishing expedition or data dredging. This can be useful for generating a hypothesis, but should be avoided when trying to confirm one. Here's a link that might be useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_dredging
