An interesting list of characteristics Just found a psychological profiling paper on the net with a self administered questionnaire about gifted adults. Interestingly there is absolutely NO reference to KNOWLEDGE. If you want to administer the test to yourself, just for fun, I have posted it below. There is no quota of 'right' answers to reach but the more yes answers you get the more likely you are to be gifted in some form or other. 1. Are you a good problem solver, or like to spend time working on solving problems? 2. Do you generally understand new ideas quickly? 3. Do you have an extensive vocabulary? 4. Are you a complex person? 5. Do you have good long-term memory (not necessarily across the board)? 6. Do you concentrate for long periods of time? 7. Are you highly sensitive, either positively or negatively? 8. Are you unusually compassionate? 9. Are you a perfectionistic? 10. Do you have passionate, intense feelings? 11. Do you feel compelled to critique or improve upon the status quo? 12. Do you have strong moral or philosophical convictions? 13. Are you very curious? 14. Do you persevere with your interests? 15. Do you have a great deal of energy (mental or physical)? 16. Do you often feel out-of-sync with others? 17. Do you feel overwhelmed by many interests or abilities? 18. Do you have an extraordinary or philosophical sense of humor? 19. Are you an avid reader? 20. Do you often take a stand against injustice? 21. As a were you considered mature for your age in any way? 22. Are you a keen observer? 23. Do you have a vivid imagination or have a perpetual flow of ideas? 24. Do you feel driven by your creativity? 25. Do you often question authority or feel unimpressed by authority? 26. Do you have facility with numbers? 27. Do you spend time doing puzzles (any kind, not necessarily pencil and paper, or jig-saw)? 28. Do you love ardent discussions? 29. Are you perceptive or insightful? 30. Do you have organized collections? 31. Do you need periods of contemplation? 32. Do you often connect seemingly unrelated ideas? 33. Do you thrive on challenge? 34. Do you often search for meaning in your life? 35. Are you fascinated with paradoxes? 36. Do you have extraordinary abilities and deficits? 37. Are you often aware of things that others are not? 38. Do you set high standards or goals for yourself? 39. Do you have unusual ideas or perceptions? 40. Do you find you race ahead of folks in ways that they deem surprising? 41. Do you notice patterns or exceptions to patterns, even subtle ones? |

Very interesting quiz. I answered yes to almost all of them. I skipped two years in public school and got a high I.Q. score to join a particular club. Other than in a job or career, being sensitive and smart can really be a detriment to having a happy life and healthy relationships.
