The Beyonders in a Thirty Year Longitudinal Study of Creative Achievement.
Torrance, E. Paul
Roeper Review, v15 n3 p131-35 Feb-Mar 1993
Initial findings and case studies of a 30-year follow-up of gifted students and adults suggest that characteristics such as love of one's work, persistence, purpose in life, love of challenge, high energy level, and a sense of mission may be more important in the long run than creative ability, intelligence, and high school achievement.
