| Summary |
"Children Above 180 IQ Stanford-Binet: Origin and Development" by Leta S. Hollingworth is a scientific study written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the characteristics, development, and educational needs of children who score above 180 on the Stanford-Binet intelligence scale, a rare designation for individuals with exceptional intellectual capabilities. Through a combination of case studies and theoretical frameworks, the text aims to contribute to the understanding of gifted children and the implications of their heightened abilities on their education and socialization. At the start of the manuscript, Hollingworth details her extensive observations and research conducted over twenty-three years, beginning with her first encounter of a child scoring above 180 IQ. She candidly shares the challenges and ethical considerations in studying gifted children, emphasizing the importance of their privacy and the need for sensitive treatment in reporting their cases. This opening establishes her commitment to a thorough examination of exceptional children, laying the groundwork for the subsequent chapters which are designed to both inform educational policy and promote better societal understanding of individuals possessing such extraordinary intellectual gifts.
