WHAT BECOMES OF THE GIFTED?
Albert Einstein and Charles Darwin, the two towering scientific geniuses of the past 150 years, were pretty average students. And therein lies a paradox, because most child prodigies grow up to be pretty ordinary adults.
“If I had a child who was six, seven years old and considered a prodigy, I would be sincerely, extremely worried,” says Professor Allan Snyder, director of the Centre for the Mind at the University of Sydney. “The chances of their being able to do something extraordinary are probably far less than someone else coming from a home with a normal background.”
Snyder’s rather harsh summary is backed up by decades of research. In 1921, the American psychologist Lewis Terman began tracking the progress of 1500 intellectually advanced children from California. By the late ’50s, only one had made an enduring impact – Jess Oppenheimer, creator of the sitcom I Love Lucy.
Terman’s results were mirrored in the early ’90s by a retrospective survey of 210 people who had been high-IQ students at Hunter College in New York in the years 1948-60. “Contrary to the expectations associated with the label of ‘genius’,” the study noted, “they tended to hold modest goals for themselves …”
Miraca Gross, a professor of gifted education at the University of NSW, has been following the progress of 40 high-IQ students in Australia since 1989. One of these students is Terry Tao, whose success is outstanding, but the others have had mixed outcomes. Several took successful corporate jobs – actuary, strategic consultant, hedge fund manager – which don’t require a towering intellect. One has become a high-level physicist. One became a disability worker, another failed to get a job in public relations and went back to study law. Several dropped out of their courses, and one developed depression.
Professor Gross says it’s too early to judge the achievements of many of her subjects, the oldest of whom are still in their 30s. But she says her research shows that the students who had the most satisfactory outcomes were those who had the benefits of accelerated learning.
To Allan Snyder, however, a genius is someone who changes the way humanity thinks, a path that requires not just a high IQ but the ability to withstand adversity and take on conventional wisdom. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, he points out, were college dropouts who changed the world by creating the personal computer revolution.
“It’s a tall order, being a genius,” he concludes. |

。。。学字母，数数这些东西早晚都能会的，古诗就更没必要了。。。这个时候的孩子多给他时间free play，explore吧，多点可以培养创造力（creativity）的活动，另外多点social play，“别的小孩都在一起玩，可就他一个人在玩数字或在画板上画字母”，说明他的social skills需要重视。“老师说他有时候自己被 字母表能背好久，而且也不大玩别的东西，就是字母和数字”，我觉得老师的意思是他需要更多关注别的方面。我们班也有个别孩子爱好比较单一，对这样的孩子我们一般也会引导他多参加别的方面的活动。
