Dauber, Susan L.; Benbow, Camilla Persson

Gifted Child Quarterly, v34 n1 p10-15 Win 1990

When 340 extremely mathematically or verbally talented 13 year olds were compared to 111 modestly gifted students, no differences were found in group activity participation or personality traits. In their ratings of peer perceptions, the modestly gifted exceeded the extremely gifted in being considered athletic and popular and in social standing. (Author/JDD)
