Now, they need to conduct this experiment again with a general population control group and a "successful people" variable group. I'm willing to bet that successful people think for themselves.

I was about to reply in a different manner, but let me start by asking you what you mean by "successful people." What kind of people would be in that group?

I put it in quotes to leave it intentionally undefined.
You could run several experiments with differing variable group selection criteria to find out what kinds of people are more or less easily influenced. However, in particular, I was thinking of people who are considered to be strong leaders.
