Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terman's longitudinal study of gifted children followed the lives of over 1,500 children from the 1920s to the 1950s, and found that while gifted individuals may have certain unique traits, they did not experience higher rates of mental illness or social difficulties. This study helped dispel many of the myths and negative stereotypes about gifted individuals.
