Two nonintellective variables, representing the imaginational (M) and the emotional (E) dimensions of mental life, and one broadly intellective variable (T) have been identified as characteristic of giftedness. A cross-sectional comparison showed no age trend when groups of gifted children (as young as age 9) and adolescents are compared with gifted adults. The broadly intellective variable T showed bimodal distribution creating two subsamples, one with T scores lower than 5, and one with T scores of 5 or more. This did not affect the M and E mean scores of the two subsamples of gifted adolescents. The three variables, E, M, and T are viewed here as critical contributors to the creative power and productivity of gifted people.

Notes that heterogeneity of dealing with issues in the education of the gifted is difficult to manage. It is also noted that the availability of resources is highly uneven and often unfairly distributed. The purpose of this chapter is to address the reasons this situation has developed and to evaluate the advantages as well as the disadvantages it produces. Topics discussed include the International Study Group for Early Child Care; lack of consensus about what giftedness means and who is gifted; security and shared beliefs; governmental and constitutional issues; school issues; and transition to college. Accelerative options for secondary school are appended. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

Notes that transpersonal experience are experiences that go beyond individual consciousness, but this does not in itself qualify them as spiritual. The author believes there must be a criterion by which these experiences can be regarded as genuinely spiritual. Such a criterion was offered by W. James: inner communion with a higher universe engages a person in the the process of inner transformation. The observable consequences are the person appearing more centered, at peace, and loving toward others. People who have done the work of inner transformation—Gandhi, E. Roosevelt, E. Hillesum, Peace Pilgrim—all stress that the world changes for the better as a function of individual human beings' changing for the better: inner peace is the necessary condition of world peace.

Notes that an examination of the New School Movement approach makes clear that it contained elements of what is now regarded as essential for gifted education at this time. Empirical research is presented in support of this observation. Topics discussed include differentiation of curriculum and instructions as the main vehicle, Dalton schools, Montessori education, and Jena Plan Schools.

Helps psychologists and educators (1) see a clearer picture of moral principles and their relationship to brainpower; (2) appreciate more fully how giftedness carries with it potential for evil as well as good; and (3) explore the possibilities of interweaving "duties of the heart" with brilliance of the mind. Topics discussed include origins and applications of moral code; subjectivity in defining morality; some ideational visions of morality; the compatibility of giftedness and morality; extra cautions in interpreting relevant evidence; and teaching moral values to the gifted and the non-gifted.

This reprinted article originally appeared in Gifted Child Quarterly, 37(4), 155-160. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1994-19557-001.) Compared a national sample of gifted underachievers and gifted high achievers on a number of characteristics. Giftedness was measured as a composite score at or above the 95th percentile on the ACT. Underachievement was defined as reporting a high school GPA of <=2.25 (on a 4.00 scale), and high achievement was defined as reporting a GPA of >=3.75 (on a 4.00 scale). Ss were 30,604 high school juniors and seniors: 257 gifted underachievers and 30,347 gifted high achievers. The underachievers generally had lower scores on the ACT and less extensive out-of-class accomplishments. Over 90% of the underachievers were Caucasian males.
