terman’s termites is probably the biggest one for that? but lots of criticism as to how much its dubious findings generalize, of which cases there are of course many such

there is DEFINITELY the possibility that extremely high intelligence people are fucked up, and that it’s hard to prove because there are so few of them, but I haven’t seen anything really convincing one way or the other

Startlingly little research seems to have been done on very smart people. I sometimes wonder why. Maybe prospective researchers suspect outcomes would be too uncomfortable and it’s de facto taboo

By definition, there's not a lot, and presumably many would rather do something else with their time. "Wanted: 180 IQ individuals to answer boring questionnaires, $20 / hour" is not a compelling pitch.

Well I would think very high IQ people would be curious enough about the subject to be willing to contribute? Although I find myself peculiarly incurious. (IQ nowhere near 180 but still in the rare zone)

I like the idea of both animal & human research where part of your job is to make the experiment entertaining enough that subjects flock to participate

May as well qualify: of course, there has been a tremendous amount of serious-in-aspiration work on this kind of thing (gosh, Terman did it...), but I suspect little of it is what David would consider serious? [My own proposal was tongue-in-cheek, of course.]

Terman’s study is the best thing I know of. I’m not faulting it (although one could probably do better now). Is there a tremendous amount more like that?

I've come across at least a half dozen over the years (& not through searching). One was: https://my.vanderbilt.edu/smpy/ Another was some of Howard Gardner's books.

Incidentally, although it's not quite your question, the graphs here are astonishing:https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview/2019/01/22/invisible-geniuses-could-the-knowledge-frontier-advance-faster/ …
