		<description><![CDATA[Most gifted adults have gifted families.  Not all of us but most of us.  The impact of growing up surrounded by other people with complementary or clashing interests and intensities is something often experienced by the gifted.  Singer-songwriter Dan Hill&#8217;s autobiography, I Am My Father&#8217;s Son provides an unflinching description of growing up with a powerful, mercurial, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a lot of debate about whether it&#8217;s good to apply the label &#8216;gifted&#8217; or bad.  Certainly a lot of people reject the label, possibly because gifted is a terrible word and there is ambiguity as well as misconceptions about what being a gifted adult is.  There doesn&#8217;t seem to be much discussion about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why do gifted adults hate to be categorized? 
More often than not, if I suggest to a gifted adult that there are qualities that either all gifted adults share in common or qualities that gifted adults are more likely to have than non-gifted adults, this idea is met with skepticism or outright rejection.  I&#8217;m thinking it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gifted people, whether they are children or adults, display a greater inclination towards perfectionism than the general population.  The theory is this: because gifted people have a higher level of abstract reasoning, they have a greater tendency to envision an ideal.   I would add that perfectionism in gifted adults is affected by what Ellen Winner terms &#8216;the rage [...]]]></description>

True enough, Admin, but you’re about thirty years late… the “social-affective needs” approach to giftedness became predominant about 1982 in the Gifted field and, if anything, has swung to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Really, I haven&#8217;t a clue.  I find the idea of being realistic challenging and sometimes puzzling and I believe this quality is related to being a gifted adult. I am frequently admonished to be realistic and, in fact, I often remind myself of the need to be realistic. But I&#8217;ve been questioning: what does being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gifted and Talented: a North American concept rooted in the education of exceptional children as defined by a psychometric evaluation. Despite the 140 year longevity of &#8216;giftedness&#8217;, we largely remain stuck in this one-dimensional understanding that being &#8217;gifted&#8217; is synonymous with school. This view of giftedness is outmoded at best and harmful at worst and has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entelechy is trait believed to be commonly (though not necessarily) found in gifted people.  Deirdre Lovecky describes entelechy as a :  &#8220;a particular type of motivation, need for self-determination, and an inner strength and vital force directing life and growth to become all one is capable of being.&#8221;
