More telling, however, were the subtest scores. Consistent with the earlier work of David Henry Feldman and Martha Morelock, it appears that a high IQ is not necessary to be a prodigy. The first thing they noticed is the wide spread of IQ scores- ranging from 108 to 147.

There was one art prodigy, one math prodigy, four musical prodigies, one prodigy who switched from music to gastronomy and another prodigy who switched from music to art.

Most of the children reached professional level performance in their domain by the age of 10, and their chosen domains were notably rule-based. In one study, Ruthsatz and violin virtuoso Jourdan Urbach administered the latest edition of the Stanford-Binet IQ test to nine prominent child prodigies who have all been featured on national and international television programs. In recent years, psychologist Joanne Ruthsatz and colleagues have been shedding light on the mind of the prodigy. The reason why they are so driven to deliberately practice in their domain requires explaining. While it's true that many prodigies receive support, resources, and encouragement from parents and coaches early on, such support is typically the result of a demonstrated "rage to learn", as the prodigy expert Martha J. Their performances are hard to explain from a purely deliberate practice perspective. While their work would be enough to impress us if they were 40, prodigies typically reach adult levels of performance in non-verbal, rule-based domains such as chess, art, and music before the age of 10. Prodigies dazzle us with their virtuoso violin concertos, seemingly prescient chess moves, and vivid paintings.
