Hi,
        Sorry for the delay, but my home computer is off to the upgrade
shop.
        See, for a summary
http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbooks/morris2/chapter8/medialib/lecture/
termites.html.

        The reference is
Terman, L. (Ed.) (1921-1959). Genetic studies of genius (Vols 1-5).
Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press.

        As far as I know it's the only existing long-term study of bright
teenagers.
                                                Regards,
                                                        Jack
p.s.  You can tell me if I disremembered the starting year of the studies.
