This article presents a discussion on giftedness and how to define and measure intelligence. During the past few years, the researchers have been having a renewed discussion about the definition of giftedness and how to define and measure intelligence. Actually, much of the discussion is a replay of earlier debates. Questions are being asked as though they were fresh and new when they have been asked and answered before. The author cites some examples of the studies conducted by his favorite philosophers and psychologists including the works of George Santyana and Lewis Terman and J. P. Guilford. The data they collected and models that they presented were steps to the present and future research in the field of giftedness. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

Psychologists show great curiosity about the world and human behavior. They are forever asking Why? Or What? Or How? about various aspects of human behavior. It is no surprise, therefore, that they respond enthusiastically to some of the questions surrounding the behavior of those labeled as gifted and talented in our society. As we shall see in this volume there are more psychologists intrigued by these questions than are actively working on them but that is due to the vagaries of funding, access, and other technical matters. Some of the key questions posed in this handbook are: • Who are the gifted? • How do we identify gifted? • What are the key characteristics of gifted students? • Where does giftedness emerge from? • Can we suppress giftedness? • Can we enhance giftedness? • Can we design public policy to favor students? All of these issues will be discussed in greater length in the following chapters but we propose to provide an overview of what is necessary to answer these questions and provide some understanding of why we stand at this point in history.

Professionals in the fields of mental retardation and giftedness have much to teach each other as well as the field of human development in general. Examining the commonalities and differences between the fields in social issues, definitions, developmental differences from the norm, values and policy issues, and educational and long-term implications deepens insights about both normal and deviant development. The authors stress the importance of individual differences in the differential design of educational strategies and the application of approaches developed with specialized populations to normally developing children. Current social inequalities affect both of these fields in particular ways. Finally, numerous research agendas can be enhanced by including representatives of both ends of the normal curve.
