Humor and Giftedness.
Ziv, Avner; Gadish, Orit
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v13 n4 p332-45 Sum 1990
Two studies investigated humor among a total of 151 gifted adolescents. It was found that (1) in a sociometry of humor test, gifted adolescents received either few or many choices in a bimodal distribution; and (2) gifted adolescent humorists were more extroverted, more creative, and lower in need for social approval than other gifted adolescents.
