There's a study by NASA out there somewhere.

They wanted geniuses so made some kind of test then adapted it to suit younger people. When they tested something like 1500 kids at the age of 5, some 98% were found to be genius. At the age of ten - after five years of school - the same kids were tested and the % of geniuses dropped to somewhere around the 40% level. When the tests were conducted on the kids again at age 15, the number of geniuses fell to below 10%.

I've been thinking along these lines for many years. All that's important is maths and reading

Interesting! You peaked my interest on this so I found the article - worth posting on its own!
