  2. SET / SMPY The Study of Exceptional Talent (SET) is a continuation of the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY), begun in the 1970s by JHU Professor Julian Stanley. Dr. Stanley pioneered the use of above-grade-level tests to assess the abilities of students who hit the ceiling on in-grade tests. CTY and other Talent Searches are outgrowths of his work, giving the SAT to 7th and 8th graders. Imagine: www.cty.jhu.edu/imagine

  3. Study of Exceptional Talent (SET) Qualifiers • Individuals who score ≥ 700 on SAT-M or SAT-V before age 13 • Since 1981, through CTY: • 3,885 qualified on Math score • 1,315 qualified on Verbal score • 423 qualified on both M and V

  4. M:F Ratio among SET Math Qualifiers

  5. SET Qualifiers haveWell Educated Fathers

  6. Most Asian SET Qualifiers are First Generation

  7. Increasing Number ofMath Qualifiers per Year

  8. More Math Qualifiers per Year, not More Testers

  9. # of Math Qualifiers per Year by Ethnicity

  10. Change in Ethnic Composition of SET Math Qualifiers

  11. New Web Site Project • Grant for a new Web site and online community for “the world’s most profoundly gifted scientists and mathematicians under age 18.” • In development now. • No URL yet, but please check http://cty.jhu.edu/set/tws.html for updates • Will strive to complement what www.artofproblemsolving.com is doing for math students, for a broader math/science community • Your help will be very welcome!
