| Abstract | Responses to a questionnaire by 305 of 600 former high school students in the Science Honors Program (SHP) at Columbia University from 1959 to 1961 were analyzed to identify talents and interests during high school that were associated with scientific interests in college, graduate school, and subsequent careers. The program, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, involved selection procedures such as testing with the Pre-Engineering Ability Test and courses taught by university faculty. Some of the findings for high school: (1) a mean IQ of 140; (2) college completion by most parents; (3) professional employment of 73 percent of fathers; and (4) first choice of mathematics, science, or engineering by 94 percent of students. Findings for college: (1) attendance at prestigious institutions such as Harvard, (2) adherence by most students to anticipated major, (3) a significant relationship between major choice and a laboratory in the home during high school, and (4) a relationship between sex and major choice. Some of the findings for graduate school: (1) 80 percent of students continued in the same major, (2) physical science majors scored higher in mathematics than biological science and nonscience majors, and (3) continued interest in science related to the home laboratory. Findings associated with careers were based on scientific publications and indicated that approximately one-third of the sample published at least one scholarly work within 10 years of college graduation.
