Title
Liberating everyday genius: A revolutionary guide for identifying and mastering your exceptonal gifts
Abstract
This book offers a new freedom to America's 20 million gifted adults whose most fundamental traits—intensity, complexity, and drive—are frequently misidentified as liabilities instead of their greatest assets. In this work about the psychology and personality of gifted adults, M.-E. Jacobsen challenges our most basic assumptions about what it means to be smart. She believes that, managed correctly, these fundamental traits are what enable gifted adults to express a new kind of unconventional breakthrough intelligence—evolutionary intelligence. Jacobsen offers a means of identifying this new kind of intelligence—an in-depth personality-type profile reminiscent of the Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram that is far richer than the standard intelligence test. She also offers the practical guidance the Everyday Genius needs to eliminate self-sabotage and low self-esteem, to put an end to procrastination and under-achieving, and to solve the relationship problems that often result from misunderstandings between the gifted and the people with whom they live and work.

En este trabajo sobre la psicología y la personalidad de los adultos superdotados, M.-E. Jacobsen desafía nuestras suposiciones más básicas sobre lo que significa ser inteligente. Ella cree que, manejados correctamente, estos rasgos fundamentales son los que permiten a los adultos superdotados expresar un nuevo tipo de inteligencia revolucionaria no convencional: la inteligencia evolutiva. Jacobsen ofrece un medio para identificar este nuevo tipo de inteligencia: un perfil de tipo de personalidad profundo que recuerda al Myers-Briggs y al Eneagrama que es mucho más rico que la prueba de inteligencia estándar. También ofrece la orientación práctica que el Genio Cotidiano necesita para eliminar el autosabotaje y la baja autoestima, para poner fin a la procrastinación y al bajo rendimiento, y para resolver los problemas de relación que a menudo resultan de los malentendidos entre los superdotados y las personas con las que viven y trabajan.
