Book excerpt by Temple Grandin and Richard Panek In recent years, the relationship between nature and nurture has been getting a lot of attention in the popular press. In particular, the 10,000-hour rule seems to have captured the public imagination. New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell didn’t invent the rule, but he did popularize it through his best-selling book Outliers . The principle actually dates to a 1993 study, though in that paper the authors called it the 10-year rule. Whatever name it goes under, the rule essentially says that in order to become an expert in any field, you need to work for at least x amount of time.
Warren Buffett’s career trajectory is not of someone who’s interested in business and is putting in his ten thousand hours. But that’s not how the rule often gets interpreted. Was Warren Buffett born to be a CEO specifically? This is not the career trajectory of someone who’s interested in business and is putting in his ten thousand hours. But wait. Well, no. Myths About Giftedness. ~ by Mary Rocamora, M.A. ~ There are many myths about the gifted that are held in the mainstream culture. They permeate conventional parenting and our educational system, including private education.
These misconceptions and attitudes drift along in the mainstream mindset unnoticed, except perhaps by gifted people trying to accomplish something meaningful in their lives when they run up against them. Because these attitudes are easily internalized, they inhibit many gifted people from fulfilling their lives fully and completely. The gifted can make it by themselves — they don’t need any extra attention, either as children or as adults. Actually, gifted children and adults need more mirroring and mentoring than most people because there is more inside that is yearning to be lived.
Even if you have extraordinary talents, keep your light under a bushel. One should never feel too good about one’s abilities or show them off except when invited or alone. You can be gifted on your own time. High achievers more likely to be bipolar. (PhysOrg.com) -- The Greek philosopher Aristotle once said "there is no great genius without a mixture of madness," and now there is some scientific evidence that there is a link between mania and high IQ and creativity, since a study of over 700,000 subjects showed those who scored the highest grades were almost four times more likely to develop bipolar disorder in their adult lives than those scoring average grades.
People with bipolar disorder, or manic depression, suffer severe and uncontrollable mood swings from elation to depression. During their elation (manic) periods they may have insomnia, restlessness, racing thoughts, and may have an over-inflated self-esteem. In the depressed stages they may be suicidal. Around 1% of the population suffers from bipolar disorder. The national cohort study was carried out by scientists from King’s College London's Institute of Psychiatry and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
Triple Nine Society. The Triple Nine Society (TNS), founded in 1978, is a 501(c)(7) non-profit voluntary association of adults who have scored at or above the 99.9th percentile on specific IQ tests (or similar) under supervised conditions, which generally corresponds to an IQ of 149 or greater using a standard deviation of 16 (e.g. Stanford-Binet IV) and 146 or greater with a standard deviation of 15 (e.g. WAIS-IV, Stanford-Binet 5).[1] This compares with Mensa International, the better-known and larger membership high IQ society which admits applicants who score at or above the 98th percentile, which generally corresponds with an IQ score of 131 (SD 15) or 133 (SD 16), or greater. As of mid-March 2015, TNS reported over 1,500 members residing in more than 40 countries, with most members residing in the United States and Europe.[2] TNS publishes a journal entitled Vidya which contains articles, poetry and other creative content contributed by members conversant with a variety of subjects.

A new study has ended the controversy (or perhaps just stirred up more) by demonstrating that creative people do think in a fundamentally different way than everyone else. The study showed that non-creative types versus creative types do indeed exhibit quite different patterns of brain activity while going about solving problems, and even just while daydreaming. Scientists have wondered for some time if people who think “creatively” are able to somehow think differently from those who seem to think in a more methodical fashion. However, many researchers have argued that what we call “creative thought” and “noncreative thought” are really not two different things.
If that were true, then people who are thought of as “creative” would not actually think in a fundamentally different way from those who are thought of as uncreative. However, other researchers have argued that creative thought is fundamentally different than other forms of thought. Posted by Rebecca Sato. Related posts: Profiles of the Gifted & Talented. Atheists 'have higher IQs': Their intelligence 'makes them more likely to dismiss religion as irrational and unscientific' Research found those with higher IQs more likely to dismiss religionAnother drawback to being religious, or at least Christian is losing out on top jobs By Daniel Bates Published: 22:52 GMT, 16 August 2013 | Updated: 08:56 GMT, 17 August 2013 Atheists tend to be more intelligent than religious people, according to a US study.
Researchers found that those with high IQs had greater self-control and were able to do more for themselves - so did not need the benefits that religion provides. They also have better self esteem and built more supportive relationships, the study authors said. New evidence: A study has concluded that religious people are less intelligent than non-believers The conclusions were the result of a review of 63 scientific studies about religion and intelligence dating between 1928 and last year. In 53 of these there was a ‘reliable negative relation between intelligence and religiosity’. In just 10 was that relationship positive.

The Profoundly Gifted Adult. By Inderbir Kaur Sandhu, Ph.D Q: Years after raising three gifted children, I am still puzzling over our middle kid, who is distinct from his sibs and many of his peers. He has been diagnosed at different times with OCD and anxiety disorder, and others have raised the question as to whether or note he has Asperger's syndrome. I do not believe that the latter is the case and that his characteristics are the result of his rather unique mind. He was tested at age 5 only because he was quite different. In fact a private kindergarten later refused to re-enroll him in first grade unless he went to see one of "their" psychologists, because he would not "connect" with other children. He used that year to study hawks outside the classroom and to build his own things. His IQ test at age five resulted in an IQ of 150. That said, he cannot lead a conventional life and still pursues his interests irregardless of their practicality.
Any thoughts or recommendations? The intellectual and psychosocial nature of extreme giftedness. Powell, P. & Haden, T. Roeper Review Volume 6, No. 3, pp. 131--133 February 1984 This article by Philip Powell and Tony Haden compares the differences of average, moderately and extremely gifted individuals. The authors explore the psychological difficulties of the highly gifted, especially in terms of self-esteem and self-conception. The article discusses the difficulties the extremely gifted have in obtaining consistent, accurate and valid feedback in regard to their self-concept. The highly gifted create structure, generate ideas, and efficiently process information in ways that are qualitatively superior to moderately gifted and average ability individuals. The highly gifted are rare in the population. To clarify the nature of the extreme giftedness, the intellectual performance of this group will be compared with the intellectual performance of the moderately gifted and the average person, using relevant research studies.
Data on the self-esteem of the gifted are mixed. Comments. IQ ranges and real-life functioning. © Paul Cooijmans Introduction This is a list of I.Q. ranges with for each a brief description of typical functioning and other features. The I.Q.'s are expressed on a scale with a general population mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. They refer to scores on adult tests only, by adult norms. The exact cut-offs for the ranges are arbitrary, and one should realize that functioning depends on more than I.Q. alone, particularly, for instance, on conscientiousness and associative horizon.
In addition it is known that I.Q. has the greatest significance to real-life functioning (and the highest correlation with "g", the common factor shared by all mental ability tests) at its lowest ranges, and becomes less important as one goes higher; the more you have of it, the less important it gets, just as with money.

IQ Test (Intelligence Test). More than 50 Intelligence Tests for all ages.
Have you ever asked yourself, what it intelligence? Intelligence can be described as the ability to have skills, necessary to face the requirements and challenges, which man is daily confronted with. According to the Webster’s Dictionary, “intelligence is a capacity to perceive and comprehend meaning, information, news”. Nowadays a new, more complex and extensive conception of intelligence has been developed, and the determination can be simply expressed as: Intelligence is a skill to solve complex problems in the changing circumstances. One cannot say, that IQ = Intelligence, because not all the aspects of the intelligence can be reliably measured.
Intelligence can have different forms, co-existing with each other, and not all of them are easily measurable. Besides, sometimes it is difficult to place certain expressions of intelligence (like intuition) into one or another category. Want to know more about the IQ and find out how smart you are?
NRC/GT—Spring '01 Newsletter-Suicide Among Gifted Adolescents: How to Prevent It. USF reaching out to find more gifted students. Chatter filled Diana Favata's classroom as students calculated weight, density and volume with chocolate bars, part of a science class for gifted fifth-graders at Hunter's Green Elementary. Chloe Gousse, 10, was among the students with melting chocolate stuck to their fingers. Chloe, who takes math and science classes in the gifted program, is not typical of her classmates because English is not her first language. Students who are not native English speakers and those from lower socio-economic groups generally are underrepresented in gifted programs, said Lauri Kirsch, the district's supervisor of K-12 gifted education in Hillsborough County.
Recently, the University of South Florida's College of Education received a $1.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to fund REACH, which stands for Recognizing Extraordinary Accomplishments of Children, to research this issue. Chloe was born and raised in Haiti until her family moved to Tampa in 2005. Marianne Kuzujanakis: The Misunderstood Face of Giftedness. In K-12 classrooms everywhere are children at risk for being misunderstood, medically mislabeled, and educationally misplaced. Not limited to one gender, race, ethnicity or socioeconomic group, they could be the children of your neighbors, your friends, your siblings, and even yourself.
These at-risk children are gifted children. Contrary to common stereotypes, giftedness is not synonymous with high academic achievement. The gifted student archetype, while expected to be a mature classroom leader, does not fit all gifted students. Wasting much of their day in unsuitable classrooms, gifted kids may behave in unacceptable ways. Dr. But many gifted children are never identified. A prevalent belief persists that one cannot both be gifted yet struggling in school. The 2010 American Academy of Pediatrics Task Force on Mental Health reported that nearly 37 percent of children and adolescents either met the DSM criteria for a mental health diagnosis or showed some impairment in functioning.
