If the seed of unusual success is not in the original germ cell, there is no chance for the developed man or woman to become “unusual” intel- lectually speaking, according to Pro- fessor Terman. Professor Terman thinks that the average intelligence of the population is decreasing and that the number of geniuses in the future is destined to be comparatively few, He accounts for this fact by quoting statisti howing the intellectually superior to be slower in reproduction even than the social- ly incompetent.
