The results of the study of 5,000 genius children within 45 years have been announced

Psychologists have studied 5,000 genius children in 45 years - and see what they discovered?

In 1971, a psychologist named Julian Stanley launched a standardized assessment test (SAT) test for a group of 12 to 13 year olds. Finally, the experiment became one of the most discoveries of human achievement.

The 'mathematical genius research group' , also known as SMPY, was conducted at Vanderbilt University by researchers Camilla Benbow and David Lubinski, who found 5,000 America's smartest children. The study was conducted using a single SAT including IQ tests and college entrance exams.

The biggest finding is that extremely talented children tend to achieve more achievement than normal children. Of the five research groups, a group of 1,600 students had 560 doctors, accounting for 35% of the group's total, and 2% of the US population, 85 books were written, 681 patents and 7,700 articles published scientific newspaper.

Camilla Benbow, Dean of the Peabody School of Education and Human Development at Vanderbilt, said the children who participated in the study also excelled in non-academic fields such as music production and business.

Besides, the study also made findings such as: gifted children still need the help of teachers to reach their full potential but they cannot 'help themselves' ; There are many types of intelligence, but the most common are spatial thinking , the ability to visualize how isolated parts of a system are connected.

SMPY also found that 'class dancing' can help promote children's achievement . 60% of class dance students have the ability to earn patents and doctoral degrees, twice as much as gifted students but do not dance in the fields of science and technology, engineering or math.

One of the most astonishing findings was that the participants in the study did the same job and there was no difference in income between the sexes. However, this study also reinforces the idea that women should do social skills tasks, while men do practical tasks.

'You will always be surprised by the things you learn, and that's why we have to study,' Benbow said, 'because we can't predict anything.'
