Tomlinson-Keasey, Carol; Warren, Lynda W.
Gifted International, v4 n1 p1-7 1987
The study examined longitudinal data from the Louis Terman study to identify risk factors predicting likelihood of committing suicide by gifted women. Discriminant function analysis predicted group membership (suicide, natural death, or living) of 100 percent of the suicides, 93 percent of the control group who died, and 88 percent of the living control group.
