It turns out that being voted “Most likely to succeed” in high school might actually be a good predictor of one’s financial and educational success later in life.
According to a professor in University of Illinois who studies the sociology of education,high school sophomores who were rated by their teachers as having good social skills and work habits,and who participated in extracurricular activities in high school,made more money and completed higher levels of education 10 years later than their classmates who had similar standardized test scores but were less socially adroit(熟练的) and participated in fewer extracurricular activities.
Christy Lleras,a professor of human and community development,says that “soft skills” such as sociability,punctuality,conscientiousness(负责任) and an ability to get along well with others,along with participation in extracurricular activities,are better predictors of earnings and higher educational achievement later in life than having good grades and high standardized test scores.
“That’s not to say that academic achievement in high school doesn’t matter -- it does,” Lleras said.“But if we only look at standardized test scores,we’re only considering part of the equation for success as an adult in a global marketplace.Academic achievement is part of the story,but it’s not the whole story.You’ve got to have the social skills and work habits to back those achievements up.”
With the generational shift from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-and -information-based one,employers value workers who can not only boast about their GPAs and SAT scores,but are also able to get along well with the public and co-workers,Lleras said.
“I think we’ve known this for a long time that employers are looking for something beyond cognitive(认知的) skills,” Lleras said.“Leadership now is not an individual thing,it’s how well you get along in a team and get people organized.”

原来在中学阶段被评为“最有可能成功”很可能成为将来生活上在财政和教育的成功的预言.
根据伊利诺伊州大学一位研究教育社会学的教授,被老师评为具优秀社会技巧和工作习惯,又参与课外活动的高中生,相比那些取得相近考试成绩,但社会熟练度较差和较少参与课外活动的学生,前者在十年后收入更丰厚,教育水平也较高.
人类和社会发展学教授 Christy Lieras认为,除参与课外活动外,社交能力、准时、责任感和待人接物能力等“软技巧”,比起取得好成绩和高考试分数,更能预测将来能否获取更高收入和更高学术成就.
Lieras说“这并不代表中学阶段的学术成就没有所谓,实际上是有关系的.但如果我们只求学习成绩,那我们只是考虑到成年人在全球市场成功方程式的一部份.学业成绩只是成功的一部份,而不是全部.你必须有好的社会技巧和工作习惯来支持那些成就.”
随着世代交替,已从制造业为基础演变成服务和信息为基础的经济,雇主看重雇员的不单是学积分和SAT分数,同时也看重雇员与公众和同事相处的能力.”
Lieras说“我想我们一向都知道雇主是要求比认知能力以外的东西.领导能力不只是个人的东西,它关乎你如何和团队相处和组织其他人的能力.”
