		<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[Introversion is a trait correlated with high intelligence.  According to Lesley Sword, 2 of 3 people in the general population are extraverted while 3 out of 4 people with IQs over 160 are introverted.  Contrary to popular belief, one can be a sociable, personable introvert.  The primary distinction between an introvert and an extravert is how one is [...]]]></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[I think &#8216;gifted&#8217; is a terrible word.  Whether it&#8217;s being applied to children or adults. My biggest problem with the word is that it&#8217;s not neutral, it has an implication of superiority.  It is one thing to say, &#8216;I am different&#8217; and indeed, some people have a problem with simply acknowledging difference, but to add [...]]]></description>
