What are some signs that a person will be successful?

I’ll interpret “successful” as successful in my classes, which, for better or worse, doesn’t necessarily mean successful in life.

I’ve found two things to be especially, and somewhat weirdly, correlated to success in my classes. In no way are these things causal, just interesting associations I’ve noted throughout my time teaching at the university level.

A. On test days, I’ve noticed that as a student exits the classroom, if they are unable to return the door to its previous state, they also tend to have one of the lower test scores. It’s maybe worth noting that the converse is not true, i.e., being able to leave an open door open or re-close a closed door doesn’t mean a student will have done well on the test.

B. My last name is somewhat difficult for many other to pronounce. I certainly don’t mind when it gets mispronounced (Tanner Auch’s answer to What does it feel like to have your name constantly mispronounced?). In fact, I think I’d be a little bit sad if everyone I encountered knew right away how to say my name. I do feel, however, that after a few weeks in one of my classes, a student should know how to pronounce my name. I’ve noticed that the students who still can’t pronounce my last name correctly as we get to the end of the semester also tend not to be doing so well in the class overall (again, this is not a cause-and-effect type situation). As with the coincidence above, the converse doesn’t hold.

I think at this point I’ve decided a lurking variable is being unobservant. And maybe this loops back to a more general interpretation of the original question—perhaps being fairly unobservant is a sign that someone will be unsuccessful.
