Sorry, I just can't attach much validity to a "study" based on 56 interviews.

This. Average of 26 students per school.

In this case the issue isn't so much that the numbers are statistically insignificant. This is roughly akin to running a study to find out that Germans think Italians are disorganized and French think the Birts have bad food. I wouldn't necessarily doubt that the idea is out there, but I would doubt it reveals anything deep about the nature of an individual's psyche. 


… and I fear 2006 took math lessons from my 10 year old.
