Genius Starts with “Sickly” Youths

Geniuses have something in common.  I mean, besides snagging Nobels and the ability to solve endless Sudoku puzzles.

University of California researchers have found that many were “sickly” kids. They analyzed archival evidence from 70 studies, including data on 282 ultra-intelligent people.  Study co-author Dean Keith Simonton, a professor of psychology, said of the findings:
