In 2009, Sonia Sotomayor made history as the first Latina and the third female Supreme Court Justice since 1789. Sotomayor’s journey took her from a single-parent home in a Bronx housing project to the Supreme Court. Although many women of color have succeeded, very little is known about their stories and what helped them to become accomplished (Kitano, 1998). Based on the Productive Giftedness Model (Paik, 2013, 2015), this chapter discusses key factors that led to Sotomayor’s success. As a biographical case study, content analyses helped determine key themes throughout her school and life experiences. Sotomayor exhibited “productive giftedness” early on through her achievements, determination, and skills, which led to productive outcomes such as academic excellence, awards, prestigious schools, and leadership opportunities (Paik, 2013). Key findings and implications include individual, instructional, and environmental factors such as motivation, family and school support, teachers, mentors, peers, and contextual factors.

In this chapter, the authors focus on making giftedness productive. Though fundamentally psychological and educational, their approach is derivative of the "new economics" that broadly applies well-established economic principles to explain human behavior outside its traditional monetary purview, including learning, human and social capital, marriage, divorce, crime, addictions, suicide, and other phenomena (Becker, 1976). This economic approach employs only a few central ideas to parsimoniously explain and predict a wide variety of human behavior. The chapter looks at conceptions, and psychological explanations of productive giftedness. Toward that end, this chapter explains the findings of our research program and sets forth what makes for exceptional performance in school and in nonacademic pursuits. It summarizes our studies of the childhood traits and environments of eminent men of Western history and of 20th-century American women, as well as the family and school environments of 20th-century gifted adolescents.
