Initials and Grades?

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- A study conducted by two U.S. researchers purports to show the initials of a person's name are directly linked with their performance in certain areas.

The second study took into account letter grades in academia in relation to students' initials and again a link was found.

By looking at the grade point averages of M.B.A. students from an unidentified university during the last 15 years, they found students with names starting with "C" or "D" typically had lower grade point averages than those whose names began with "A" and B."
