Don't use GPA or a standardized test like the SAT/MCAT etc.
What is the subject domain of your course?  In general, what are the backgrounds of your students?

Subject: Group Formation

Wondering what prompts or group formation proxy's do people use to create "balanced" groups for team factors such as overall GPA, motivation to learn, introverted vs. extroverted student. My students want the groups "evenly" balanced in terms of GPA - which is impossible. I find this task very challenging. I would love any ideas!
