"Surdoué" dîtes-vous ? .. Mais de quoi parlez-vous ? Comment définir ce qu’est un surdoué ? Tout le problème est là : Depuis que le sujet est sur la table, personne n’a vraiment réussi à s’entendre sur la définition à donner ! … D’autant que la définition de l’intelligence elle-même fait débat. – Ebbinghaus (1850 – 1909) et Caroll (1916 – 2003) la définissent comme « instrument de combinaison / de synthèse ». – Binet (1857 – 1911) et Spearman (1863 – 1945) comme un « degré de développement » – Terman (1877 – 1956) comme « instrument d’abstraction » – Piéron (1881 – 1964) comme une « capacité d’adaptation à des situations nouvelles » – Wechsler (1896 – 1981) comme « l’instrument le plus général de la réussite ou de l’efficacité» Le terme « surdoué » est, lui, un néologisme forgé dans les années 1940 pour désigner des enfants dont les aptitudes dépassaient nettement la moyenne des capacités des enfants de leur âge. Selon Sternberg, l’intelligence comporte donc trois aspects principaux : analytique, créatif et pratique.
Gifted Children and Moral Development - Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration The Theory of Positive Disintegration is as theory of moral development devised by Polish psychologist Kazimierz Dabrowski. It consists of five levels which go from total self-interest to almost the complete opposite, which is primary concern for others. Level I: Primary Integration: Egocentrism is the ruling force in this level. Level II: Unilevel Disintegration: Individuals at this level of moral development are no longer totally self-centered, but they have not yet internalized a core set of values. Level III: Spontaneous Multilevel Disintegration: At this level, an individual begins to develop an inner core of hierarchical values. For example, a person may have a strong sense of honor and believe that any lie is a sign of moral failure or weakness. Those at this level also often feel morally out of sync with their peers whose values are not at the same high level of idealism. Dabrowski considered this level a period of "positive maladjustment." Level V: Secondary Integration:
HPI Fonction Publique – Le Haut potentiel intellectuel dans la fonction publique Existential Depression in Gifted Children It has been my experience that gifted and talented persons are more likely to experience a type of depression referred to as existential depression. Although an episode of existential depression may be precipitated in anyone by a major loss or the threat of a loss which highlights the transient nature of life, persons of higher intellectual ability are more prone to experience existential depression spontaneously. Sometimes this existential depression is tied into the positive disintegration experience referred to by Dabrowski (1996). Existential depression is a depression that arises when an individual confronts certain basic issues of existence. Yalom (1980) describes four such issues (or “ultimate concerns”)–death, freedom, isolation and meaninglessness. Why should such existential concerns occur disproportionately among gifted persons? Because gifted children are able to consider the possibilities of how things might be, they tend to be idealists. References Dabrowski, K. (1966).

Great Potential Press, Scottsdale, 2008. © InconnuKazimierz Dąbrowski Kazimierz (1902-1980) - L'homme On ne saurait évoquer la théorie de la désintégration positive sans évoquer préalablement l'homme que fut Dabrowski. Kazimierz Dabrowski est né le 1er septembre 1902 en Pologne, deuxième enfant d'une fratrie de 4. Issu d'une famille aisée, il étudie à Lublin dans des instituts catholiques et se retrouve très jeune exposé aux livres et à la musique. La 2e guerre mondiale fut difficile pour Dabrowski : il perd son jeune frère et sa mère est déportée. Au début des années 60, il rencontre Jason Aronson, éditeur du International Journal of Psychiatry qui l'aidera à la traduction de son premier ouvrage en anglais : Positive Disintegration. Il est important de noter que l'anglais constitue la dernière langue apprise par Dabrowski. Le dynamisme Notes
Experts give advice on year end donations to charity December 29, 2013|By Kate Santich, Staff Writer Hoping to lock in a final tax write-off for 2013, more Americans are expected to make charitable contributions Monday and Tuesday than at any previous point in the year. But whether you're a big fish in the donor pond or a little guppy, wise-giving experts warn that some homework and a dose of caution will help get you the most bang for your hard-earned charitable buck. "Part of the problem is that a lot of giving is emotional," said Mark Brewer, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of Central Florida, a public grant-making organization. "And emotional appeals tend to disconnect our brains from our wallets. One way to educate yourself is by checking the free public "knowledge base" the foundation has created at cfcf.guidestar.org. "A big CEO salary is a real turnoff," said Orlando attorney John Morgan, known for being a generous but careful supporter of philanthropy. "I look at the person," he said.

QI, Intelligence Humaine et Education des Enfants Surdoués Health---Well-Being If you wanted to be god over all the earth, you'd need to find a way to control it. Just as the enemy has infiltrated the church, government, and all the rest of earth's systems, he has infiltrated the health of mankind. Many of the physical symptoms (lethargy, despair, foggy mindedness) that the people of God experience are due to a breakdown and corruption of our culture's food and water supplies. It is a fact and fairly understood that the majority of the foods ingested are no longer "food" in the true sense. Most of us douse ourselves with immunizations, cosmetics, lotions and antiperspirants, use fluoride toothpaste, take one type of metal ladened medication or another, and drink or shower in toxic water. I am convinced that most sicknesses and diseases, including things like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, ADHD, autism, depression and so much more, are rooted in toxicity.

Insecure overachievers : comment tirer le meilleur de ces surperformants angoissés Chroniques d’experts Leadership Le 05/04/2018 © Getty Images C’est pour éviter d’être démasqués qu’ils en font toujours plus, et souvent trop. Leur crainte ? Petit, j’habitais chez mes grands-parents au fond d’une ruelle, éclairée le soir tombé trop tôt de la lueur orangée des mêmes lampes qu’on trouvait à la mine. Une chimère invisible Les premiers de la classe sont ceux qui courent le plus vite ; qui apprennent le plus vite et donc le plus, qui comptent plus vite que les autres, qui lisent plus vite, qui comprennent plus vite, qui décident plus vite, qui s’engagent plus vite, qui séduisent plus vite, qui trouvent des solutions plus vite, qui délivrent plus vite, et qui sont en définitive plus performants. En réalité, ils ne sont pas invisibles pour tout le monde. Le pacte de Faust Inévitablement, le déraillement arrive quand l’insecure overachiever est démasqué, c’est-à-dire la première fois qu’il rencontre l’échec, du moins le pense-t-il.
