Lewis M. Terman's publication list is impressively long. Even a selective bibliography includes around three dozen articles and books (Watson, 1974). Yet by many standards of authorship assignment, one significant contribution is invariably omitted: the paper "The Versatility of Genius" nominally sole-authored by Ralph K. White in 1931. To see why, it is necessary to place this article in the context of two careers-Terman's and White's. Terman (1940) discussed White's (1931) key results in his overview of "Psychological Approaches to the Biography of Genius." In that article, Terman's appreciation for the study seems much greater than the author's own. No criticisms even mentioned. Furthermore, it has become apparent many decades later that White's inquiry into the versatility of genius remains the most rigorous empirical treatment of the subject-a subject that encompasses the fascinating topic of polymathy as well (Cassandro & Simonton, 2010). Hence, why not give White's (1931) inquiry the attention it deserves? Just add the reference to Terman's curriculum vita with an asterisk indicating White's mentor as covert coauthor!

Lewis M. Terman的简历缺少出版物？拉尔夫·怀特（Ralph K. White）在1931年创作的《天才的多功能性》。

刘易斯·特曼（Lewis M. Terman）的出版物列表令人印象深刻。甚至有选择性的参考书目也包括大约三打文章和书籍（Watson，1974）。然而，按照作者身份分配的许多标准，始终都会忽略一个重要贡献：Ralph K. White在1931年名义上独着的论文“ Genius Versatility of Genius”。要知道为什么，有必要将本文放在泰米尔（Telan）和怀特（White）这两个职业。特曼（1940）在怀特（Genius）的心理学方法概述中讨论了怀特（1931）的主要成果。在那篇文章中，Terman对这项研究的赞赏似乎比作者自己的要大得多。甚至没有提到批评。而且，数十年后的今天，怀特 对天才多功能性的研究仍然是对该主题的最严格的经验方法，该主题也涵盖了多义性的迷人话题（Cassandro＆Simonton，2010）。因此，为什么不给怀特（1931）的询问给予应有的关注呢？只需在Terman的履历表上加上星号，即可表明White的导师是秘密合著者！（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
