Genetic Studies of Genius, Volume 1: Mental and Physical Traits of a Thousand Gifted Children
By Lewis Terman

Intellectual talent is one of a nation's most valuable resources, and understanding it is crucial for fostering future generations of leaders and innovators. In Volume 1 of the seminal series Genetic Studies of Genius, Lewis Terman (1877-1956) embarked on a groundbreaking study in 1921 that would become the longest-running longitudinal research project in the history of psychology. This volume marks the beginning of a five-part exploration into the lives, development, and achievements of 1,000 gifted children.

Terman’s study is recognized for its profound historical significance in both educational science and psychology. Not only does it provide invaluable insights into the nature of intelligence and achievement, but it also challenges commonly held stereotypes about the personalities and social lives of gifted individuals.

This first volume lays the foundation, covering the selection process, statistical composition of the group, as well as their health, physical condition, family background, and early interests. It paints a comprehensive picture of these children’s mental and physical traits, revealing the many factors contributing to giftedness. Whether you are an educator, psychologist, or parent, this volume offers a treasure trove of data and analysis that deepens the understanding of high intellectual potential.
