Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terman's study found that the most successful of the gifted subjects had educated parents who taught them to value learning. This suggests that upbringing and cultural background played a significant role in the success of these individuals, rather than just their raw intellectual potential as measured by IQ. The study did not find that having the lowest or highest IQ or being introverted made someone more likely to be successful.
