Genetic Studies of Genius

The Genetic Studies of Genius, later known as the Terman Study of the Gifted,^[1] is currently^[update] the oldest and longest-running longitudinal study in the field of psychology. It was begun by Lewis Terman at Stanford University in 1921 to examine the development and characteristics of gifted children into adulthood.^[1]^: xi^[2]

The results from the study have been published in five books,^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[1] a monograph,^[7] and dozens of articles. A related retrospective study of eminent men in history by Catharine Cox, though not part of the longitudinal study, was published as part of the Genetic Studies of Genius.^[8] It further inspired the ongoing Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth longitudinal study.
