Autistics are less embarrassed by social information (self & other face photos) https://t.co/37T6oIV3yZ & less influenced by fake observers

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289614000920• Finland does very well in PISA, but has very few Nobel Prize winners.
• Finns have the highest IQ in Europe but the smallest SD.
• Finns have high Conscientiousness and Agreeableness.
• This explains why they do well in education, but not in measures of significant creative achievement.

Can Finnish education be copied?
by Tyler Cowen
—“The access to teacher training is highly competitive; there are ten applicants for every training place to become a primary schoolteacher. It does not seem to dawn upon those in Britain and the United States who want to implement the Finnish system that it would mean firing something like three-quarters of the current teachers”—

In a paper just published in Science, Colin Camerer of the California Institute of Technology and a group of colleagues from universities around the world decided to check. They repeated 18 laboratory experiments in economics whose results had been published in the American Economic Review and the Quarterly Journal of Economics between 2011 and 2014.
For 11 of the 18 papers (ie, 61% of them) Dr Camerer and his colleagues found a broadly similar effect to whatever the original authors had reported. That is below the 92% replication rate they would have expected had all the original studies been as statistically robust as the authors claimed—but by the standards of medicine, psychology and genetics it is still impressive.
One theory put forward by Dr Camerer and his colleagues to explain this superior hit rate is that economics may still benefit from the zeal of the newly converted.
