Answer

The answer is the mentally gifted are often better adjusted and socially skilled.

Explanation
Option 1: Mentally gifted people are more likely to have serious problems in adulthood

This option is not supported by the majority of research. While some gifted individuals may face unique challenges, studies generally do not conclude that they are more likely to have serious problems in adulthood compared to the general population.

Option 2: Greater creativity among the mentally gifted

While it is true that many mentally gifted individuals may exhibit high levels of creativity, this option does not directly address the overall findings of studies related to their social adjustment and skills.

Option 3: The mentally gifted are often better adjusted and socially skilled

Research, including follow-ups to the Terman Genetic Studies of Genius, has shown that many mentally gifted individuals tend to be well-adjusted and socially skilled. They often have better educational and occupational outcomes, which can contribute to better social adjustment.

Option 4: A higher possibility of mental illness among the mentally gifted

There is no conclusive evidence to suggest that mentally gifted individuals have a higher possibility of mental illness compared to the general population. While some studies have explored this topic, the results are mixed and do not support a definitive link.
