They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The original aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions.
The National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented: The NRC-G/T is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to investigate, develop, and disseminate new methods for identifying and teaching gifted students. Special emphasis is placed on research that serves highly able students from culturally, linguistically, and ethnically diverse populations. The NRC-G/T is located at the University of Connecticut and is run collaboratively with the University of Virginia. In addition, researchers work in conjunction with more than 300 public school districts across the country as research study sites.
