About Adult Learning Excellence:

Scientifically Grounded

A study by scientist Johnson O’Connor helped quantify a direct correlation between vocabulary and rank on the corporate ladder. Thus, your ability to achieve success, whether it’s in your relationships, school, career, or business, depends highly on your ability to communicate effectively.

Other studies show that vocabulary scores are the ONLY measure found to consistently correlate with income levels.

A Human Engineering Laboratory Study tested the vocabularies of thousands of people in various careers and age groups, and found that the people drawing the highest salaries scored highest on the vocabulary test.

Every day, people judge you by the words you choose. Whether what they think is true or not, what you say says a lot about your intelligence, education, and status.
