Forgot to add this telling quote: "A person in the mainstream thinks more simply, and more convergently, i.e., using straightforward logic. They have trouble associating dissimilar images and the associations they do make are predictable, circumscribed, and conventional. That is why people raised in comfortable homes tend to be intelligent successful and happy but to lack creative drive (4). In Terman's classic study of intellectually gifted children many from affluent homes, for example, not one achieved prominence in any creative field."
