The gifted pupils of the Iowa high school survey

Abstract

The pupils in the highest decile of a total group of 8903 high school seniors (upon whom a composite intelligence-achievement-aptitude score was available) were subjected to intensive study through questionnaires sent to parents and high school principals. Superior pupils are more likely than the average to come from superior homes, to graduate from high school early, and to attend college. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
