Exceptional Giftedness in Early Adolescence and Intrafamilial Divergent Thinking.

Runco, Mark A.; Albert, Robert S.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v15 n4 p335-44 Aug 1986

Two groups of boys and their parents were given five divergent thinking tests as one part of a longitudinal investigation on exceptional giftedness in early adolescence. Canonical and bivariate analyses indicated that there was a strong correlation between the adolescents' divergent thinking test scores and their parents' scores. (Author/LMO)
