Spatial Ability: A Neglected Dimension In Talent Searches For Intellectually Precocious Youth (2007, background): “Although the latter clearly influence the educational–vocational niches that people self-select into (approach), the niches that people select out of (avoid) are influenced by the former (Gottfredson, 2003; Lubinski, 2004; Scarr, 1996; Scarr & McCartney, 1983).”
Spatial ability and STEM: A sleeping giant for talent identification and development (2010, background): “Yet, for decades, the available longitudinal evidence on spatial ability has been routinely ignored by psychological specialties in the position to develop it further and put it into practice (Gottfredson, 2003).”
Intellectual Competence and the Intelligent Personality: A Third Way in Differential Psychology (2006, background): “…success of cognitive ability measures in predicting academic and occupational outcomes did not, by any means, justify the monopoly of psychometric intelligence, a fact acknowledged even by the most stalwart supporters of g (Gottfredson, 2003a, 2004a, 2004b; Jensen, 1998; Schmidt & Hunter, 1998).”
The structure of human intelligence: It is verbal, perceptual, and image rotation (VPR), not fluid and crystallized (2005, background): “…those involving image rotation, predicts success in fields such as airplane piloting, engineering, physical sciences, and fine arts better than does general intelligence, and especially verbal ability (Gottfredson, 2002; Humphreys & Lubinski, 1996; Shea, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2001; Sheppard, 1978).”
Spatial ability for STEM domains: Aligning over 50 years of cumulative psychological knowledge solidifies its importance. (2009, background): “These proclivities can and do change over time, but relative levels of interests (and competing interests) are always important to take into account (Geary, 1998, 2005; Gottfredson, 2003, 2005).”
Sex differences in mental abilities: g masks the dimensions on which they lie (2007, background): “…of education or socioeconomic status as does g (Jensen, 1998), they may help predict more specific life outcomes such as selection of occupation (Gottfredson, 2002; Humphreys & Lubinski, 1996; Humphreys, Lubinski, & Yao, 1993; Shea, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2001) or development of particular skills…”
