    Article Gifted Child Quarterly 0(0) 1–26 Intellectual Precocity: What Have ! 2020 National Association for Gifted Children We Learned Since Terman? Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/0016986220925447 journals.sagepub.com/home/gcq David Lubinski1 and Camilla P. Benbow1 Abstract Over the past 50 years, eight robust generalizations about intellectual precocity have emerged, been empirically docu- mented, and replicated through longitudinal research. Within the top 1% of general and specific abilities (mathematical, spatial, and verbal) over one third of the range of individual differences are to be found, and they are meaningful. These individual differences in ability level and in pattern of specific abilities, which are uncovered by the use of above-level assessments, structure consequential quantitative and qualitative differences in educational, occupational, and creative out- comes. There is no threshold effect for abilities in predicting future accomplishments; and the concept of multipotentiality evaporates when assessments cover the full range of all three primary abilities. Beyond abilities, educational/occupational interests add value in identifying optimal learning environments for precocious youth and, with the addition of conative variables, for modeling subsequent life span development. While overall professional outcomes of exceptionally precocious youth are as exceptional as their abilities, educational interventions of sufficient dosage enhance the probability of them leading exceptionally

Eutsler ii Developing Critical Thinking Through The Arts ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It’s a great privilege to have conducted this research and prepare this dissertation involving a triune of topics—God, the arts, and critical thinking. Knowing that we are created in God’s image and, as followers of Jesus, have the mind of Christ and are part of the priesthood of all believers, it is excited to tout the benefits of honing critical thinking. Linking critical thinking with the arts broaches a unique relationship, symbiotic in essence. When one considers to what degrees the arts drive critical thinking and vice versus one is instantly transported to a realm where the interrelatedness of all genres and subject areas come forth in intradisciplinary, interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary ways. Thanks to those mentors in my life (known and unknown—in the spirit realm—to me) who have helped me achieve a way of thinking that has caused me to explore Developing Critical Thinking Through The Arts.

    1 ﻋ ر ﺑ ﻲ How to raise a genius: lessons from a 45-year study of super-smart children A long-running investigation of exceptional children reveals what it takes to produce the scientists who will lead the twenty-first century. • Tom Clynes 07 September 2016 NATURE, 537 Issue 7619 On a summer day in 1968, professor Julian Stanley met a brilliant but bored 12-year-old named Joseph Bates. The Baltimore student was so far ahead of his classmates in mathematics that his parents had arranged for him to take a computer-science course at Johns Hopkins University, where Stanley taught. Even that wasn't enough. Having leapfrogged ahead of the adults in the class, the child kept himself busy by teaching the FORTRAN programming language to graduate students. Unsure of what to do with Bates, his computer instructor introduced him to Stanley, a researcher well known for his work in psychometrics — the study of cognitive performance. To discover more about the young prodigy's talent, Stanley gave Bates a battery of tests that included the SAT college-admissions exam, normally taken by university-bound 16- to 18-year-olds in the United States. Early child development: Body of knowledge Bates's score was well above the threshold for admission to Johns Hopkins, and prompted Stanley to search for a local high school that would let the child take advanced mathematics and science classes. When that plan failed, Stanley convinced a dean at Johns Hopkins to let Bates, then 13, enrol as an undergraduate. Stanley would affectionately refer to Bates as “student zero” of his Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY), which would transform how gifted children are identified and supported by the US education system.

Benbow Vanderbilt University Abstract Youth identified before age 13 (N = 320) as having profound mathematical or verbal reasoning abilities (top 1 in 10,000) were tracked for nearly three decades. Their awards and creative accomplishments by age 38, in combination with specific details about their occupational responsibilities, illuminate the magnitude of their contribution and professional stature. Many have been entrusted with obligations and resources for making critical decisions about individual and organizational well-being. Their leadership positions in business, health care, law, the professoriate, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) suggest that many are outstanding creators of modern culture, constituting a precious human-capital resource. Identifying truly profound human potential, and forecasting differential development within such populations, requires assessing multiple cognitive abilities and using atypical measurement procedures. This study illustrates how ultimate criteria may be aggregated and longitudinally sequenced to validate such measures.
