Hmm. Reading the papers from that study group seems to prove me 100% wrong. I suspect my selective referencing skills need improving.

Note: I read the abstract for the 35 year study and glanced over the paper.

The researchers findings seem to be that these prodigies are for most part well adjusted/succesful, but do not necessarily go/stay into math/science fields.

Are those the findings, or is there something more?

They split the prodigies into science/math people and humanities people. I skim read the paper, and it showed a correlation between the field they were talented in and achievement in that field.
