The marshmallow test is a test where a kid at the age of 4,5 or 6 is placed in a room. The kid is supposed to wait in the room for a certain amount of time. They get a treat placed in front of them. If they wait there without eating it they get another treat and the get to eat both. Most kids ate the treat before the time limit was over. One third on the kids didn't eat the marshmallow and the other two thirds ate the marshmallow. The point of this test is to see if the kid has self discipline. One hundred percent of the kids that didn't eat the marshmallow were successful. The other were mostly not successful but some of them were. The person that made the tests wanted to figure out a way to teach a person from any age self discipline.
