Another anecdote from the biography of White House hopeful Ben Carson is being thrown into the spotlight -- this time from his days at Yale University.

A recent Wall Street Journal report examined one incident, described in the GOP candidate's widely read memoir "Gifted Hands," where a young Carson took a final exam for a college psychology class, named in the book as "Perceptions 301."

Carson wrote that he and his classmates had been told their final exam papers for the course had "inadvertently burned" and that they would need to take the test again. In his book, the GOP candidate described the new test as "incredibly difficult, if not impossible." His classmates -- about 150 of them -- eventually gave up on the exam and left the room, Carson wrote, and he remained the sole student to finish it.

Carson later learned that it was a test of the "most honest" student conducted by his Yale professor, and he was the only one to pass. Carson said that, at the end of the test, his teacher gave him $10 as a reward and a Yale Daily News photographer took his picture.

Benjamin S. Carson, M.D.

Going back to your childhood reading, what were some of the books that you particularly liked as a kid?

Benjamin Carson: Actually, in the beginning, it was all animal books, like Chip the Dam Builder. It was about a beaver and the adventures of this incredible beaver. But you know, Call of the Wild,Becky’s Thunder Egg. And, then there were a lot of books that weren’t necessarily story books, but they were fact books like Reptiles of the Serengeti or things like that and that was really neat because I learned so much about animals that whenever the science teacher brought up anything that even remotely is — I was Johnny on the spot. I had the answer. And within a matter of a year and a half, I went from the bottom of the class to the top of the class, much to the consternation of all those students who used to tease me and call me names. The same ones were coming to me and they’d say, “Benny, Benny, Benny, how do you work this problem,” and I’d say, “Sit at my feet, youngster, while I instruct you.”
