How close are high school mock elections?

I was looking at the mock elections in an old yearbook. Judging by the way things have turned out, it is hard to predict what a person’s station in life will be in the future (e.g. most likely to succeed, most likely to be famous, etc.). On the other hand, when it comes to character and personality traits, they seem to hold true (class clown, friendliest, most reliable, most dependable, etc.).

Some of the most unlikely people I have gone to school with have really done well for themselves. Some of the most homely people (saying without trying to be mean) have turned out to be handsome and beautiful.

Have you been right about pedicting someone’s future (as far as what type of field they would end up in, if they would end up in jail, living at home till they are thirty…)?
