  • The structure of this brief introduction on Giftedness in Adults is based on Pamela Hunsberger, M.A.'s research about Giftedness and the experience of complex trauma. It is intended to serve as a starting point for a particular reflection on Giftedness in the adult world. The concept of giftedness, intriguingly, does not adhere to a universal definition. Currently, there is a diverse range of accepted definitions, and the evaluation criteria are variable. Generally, but not necessarily correctly, the term implies an individual, in most cases a child, with above-average mental abilities or intelligence. One key aspect of giftedness is overexcitability, a term first introduced by Dabrowski (1964) in the Theory of Positive Disintegration. This concept suggests that gifted individuals, while unique and inspiring, also face significant qualitative differences compared to their non-gifted counterparts. These differences are often seen in their sensitivity, idealism, intensity, perceptivity, and asynchrony. Other aspects of giftedness include open-mindedness, psychological complexity, reflection, introversion, moral concern, and perfectionism. These factors are typically categorized as neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, each defined by a series of more specific traits or facets.
