How Do You Know You’re Gifted?
Every Gifted Person Has A Unique Personality Profile That Includes Some Combination of These Gifted Traits.
The hallmarks of giftedness:
An intense drive to acquire, master and process new information
A capacity to absorb and understand material as it’s being presented-no review or homework required to bolt it in place
A wide - ranging imagination
Leaps of spontaneous insight
Clairvoyance – an ability to see beyond the ordinary
A capacity to be awed ,inspired and super-motivated
An advanced intellect that permits razor sharp critical thinking
Uncanny physical abilities
A finely tuned unusual aesthetic sensibility
A range of physical and emotional sensitivities and reactivities.
These are the building blocks for spectacular accomplishments. They also allow gifted individuals to experience the world in rich complex and even spiritual ways.
However these same endowed qualities also can transform giftedness into a double – edged sword :
When gifted children accomplish things well in advance of the normal expectations for their age ,they often feel as if they’ve left their childhood prematurely, entered adulthood too early and left their peers behind.
These experiences can lead to feelings of alienation, detachment, dissociation, disillusionment, isolation and feelings of meaninglessness.
