Definition

  • Adults can be recognized as gifted by two different means: Either they are identified as gifted during their educational years, and/or they attain recognition in adulthood for superior performance in a particular talent area. The first means of identification, in youth or in the educational years, is generally based on high performance on standardized tests and IQ tests.
