When you think of giftedness, you probably think of someone who is very smart. It is indeed true that gifted people have an IQ of more than 130 and are therefore more intelligent than others. Yet giftedness is a combination of several things such as: being very intelligent, creativity and being able to think quickly.
Giftedness occurs in approximately 2.5 percent of the world’s population. Although this is measured with the intelligence quotient, being gifted involves several factors. In addition to high intelligence, creativity, intrinsic motivation and wisdom are important to measure whether someone is gifted.
Whether and how giftedness is expressed in someone also has to do (both positively and negatively) with the social environment such as the family, school and social contacts.
Because giftedness is different from the norm and the system is not designed for it, people with an above-average IQ can experience problems on several fronts. This also applies to Hank (57), who only discovered later in life that he is ‘different’.
These are those powers of giftedness
It is also true that people who are highly intelligent often have other powerful qualities as well. These are the powers of gifted people (although they can of course differ per person).
Think and process quickly
Gifted people often have a fast processing speed of information. They understand complex concepts quickly and also make connections between different ideas at high speed.
Deep understanding
People who are gifted often also have deep understanding of subjects in which they are interested. This allows them to quickly analyze complex problems and come up with creative solutions.
Creativity and giftedness
Gifted people are often very creative. They come up with original ideas and thinking out-of-the-box.
Think critically
They are often able to think critically and apply logical reasoning to reach conclusions.
Great learning ability
Gifted people often have a great learning capacity and love learning. They are curious and motivated to continuously acquire new knowledge and skills.
Sensitivity and empathy
Although it is not always associated with giftedness, many gifted people can also be very gifted sensitive and empathetic are. They have a deep understanding of emotions and can feel strongly connected to others.
Perseverance and giftedness
Gifted people can get stuck into very difficult tasks and projects and often have a large… perseverance and intrinsic motivation to achieve their goals.
