Wiley, Jennifer; Goldstein, David
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v14 n4 p412-22 Win 1991
This replication study with 96 highly gifted and 192 less gifted control subjects (all 12 years old) found the highly gifted (students with extremely high scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test) were disproportionately male. It did not find that the highly gifted were more likely to be left handed or to have allergies. (Author/DB)
