...Mental Health, the Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation TALENT has already tested 440,000 high school students -one out of every 20 in the U.S.-and begun tracking their career orbits for the next 25 years. The purpose is to pinpoint the students' abilities, trace the impact (or nonimpact) of U.S. education on their development, and follow their failures and successes through the 19805.
