Terman's study found that while the gifted individuals were successful by conventional standards, they did not necessarily make genius-level contributions in their fields, therefore ruling out the stereotype that all gifted individuals become geniuses. However, Terman did find that the gifted individuals exhibited better-than-average emotional stability and physical health.
