Highly Gifted Students in Their School Years — Part 1 of 5

Introduction to Level Two Longitudinal Study Results for 12 Highly Gifted Youngsters

I worked directly with most of the families and individuals in this study. I administered and interpreted intelligence and achievement tests to most of the subjects in this study. Sometimes someone else had already done the testing and the families came to me for further recommendations and support. My first book, 5 Levels of Gifted: School Issues and Educational Options in 2009, was about the Five Levels of Gifted and their early milestones and the experiences of the families. You can find these subjects first in the book and then here in these longitudinal study results, as well as other books listed at the end.

This series of posts — the experiences and outcomes of the Level Two (Highly Gifted) subjects — is from Chapter 7, Section III, of The Five Levels of Gifted Children Grown Up: What They Tell Us (2023). I’ve tweaked each post to make sense in short format. The subjects from Level One were discussed in posts from the first half of November 2024.
