For this same reason, I'm only good at Jeopardy! when my wife is in the room. Together, we make one good contestant. I've always been intrigued by the German process of putting people into inductries or jobs according to test scores. It's a bit like social engineering -- something which Hitler would appreciate. I guess the system works, but what about the outliers or the free-radicals who don't adhere to the norm. Those are the ones that do fantastic things. I'm no idle dreamer, but it seems as if the German system, while dependable for results, may not have the occurences of insane greatness seen in freer societies. Just a thought.

Germany was highly embarrassed by Hitlers actions; Germans never stopped hating Jews, they just simply kept it quiet. Watch for the involvement of Germany regarding Israel, and it's manufactured crisis by Obama. That's where the trouble will start once again. Disclosure: I am a german citizen, and it pains me to be so critical of my country. I do call a spade a spade; and admit, that germans are quite racist, and bigots.
