What is "The Right Stuff" and who has it? Friedman talks about four skill sets that are widely sought after to make it in the flat world. First one is the abiity to "learn how to learn". This important because information is constantly being updated, and in the flat world it is just as important to have the ability to learn then just what a person knows.
The Second skill is CQ + PQ > IQ, which means curiosity quotient + passion quotient matters more then intelligence quotient . Students with curiosity and passion will teach themselves to learn and there are tons of tools to take a person further.
The third is "Plays Well with Others" is almost self explanatory. Jobs are becoming more group oriented, and team work is a big factor. We get that first hand at Florida State.
The fourth and final one is "The Right Brain Stuff", to me this was the most interesting. Friedman talks about needing to develop the right side of your brain because it's responsible for seeing the big picture, being artistry, and empathic while the left side is measured by the SAT's. Also that the jobs being outsourced are the left-brained task's.

Below is a great website that tests whether you are right, left or both brained. It's awesome, do it with numerous people because it does turn both ways.
