The Marshmallow Test

Have you seen The Marshmallow Test?

I watched the adorable video some time ago, but today, on my long drive to Santa Barbara, I learned some interesting stuff about the test--and what it means--from the awesome Radiolab team.

Watch the video, then listen to Mischel’s Marshmallows!

I love it! SO SO cute!

there was an article in the NY Time a while back about this. It was all about the ability to delay gratification and what that means for futures success. It was really interesting.

I'll be sure to listen to the radiolab piece later. But seriously, that video was too cute.

I would not have made it as a kid. Heck, I still have problems waiting as an adult. maybe they're on to something.

If my ability to abstain from Girl Scout cookies is any indicator, I would have done horribly at this test. There is no will power when it comes to a box of Tagalongs. Thanks for the 'educational moment' today.
