Lewis Terman, creator of the Stanford-Binet IQ test, began a study in 1921 that tracked the life histories of 1,500 California kids with genius-level IQs. Journalist Shurkin taps Terman's files to tell what happened to some of the kids and to extrapolate a few generalizations from the varied life stories.
