Historical Perspectives: A Paradoxical Point of View: Lewis M. Terman
Jennifer L. Jolly
Lewis Terman’s Genetic Studies of Genius has contributed to a body of knowledge concerning gifted children that was instrumental in debunking many of the unfound truths about gifted children and establishing that these children were not neurotic, sickly, or decidedly abnormal when compared to their peers of average intelligence (Minton, 1988). However, Terman also left behind a paradoxical legacy in terms of his hereditarian views of intelligence and how that translated in terms of race and class (Stoskopf, 2002).
