The Gifted Can't Weigh That Giraffe.
Wassermann, Selma
Phi Delta Kappan, v63 n9 p621 May 1982
A professor's one-time observation of gifted and low-achieving students at one school leads to a startling conclusion. The gifted students were excessively anxious and unable to think creatively in the face of new problems; the low-achievers demonstrated high levels of creative problem-solving. (Author/WD)
