Abstract
Leta S. Hollingworth (1886–1939) pioneered in above age‐and grade‐level testing of boys and girls in the New York City area whose IQs were extremely high. Her deep insights about measuring general and special abilities led to numerous current academic activities on behalf of intellectually highly talented young persons, especially including above‐level curricula for them.Keywords
