  • In using the word "gifted" we refer to the child whose capacity for learning and inherent mental endowment is greatly above the average. Just as children who suffer from an innately low mental capacity are at a disadvantage with those of average intelligence, so others who far surpass the average may, under certain circumstances, easily become maladjusted. They, like the dullards, may experience difficulty in adjusting to a community arranged to suit the average individual. There are, roughly, two classes of gifted children, though a child may belong to both classes. The first class comprises those with a high level of general intelligence. According to Professor Cyril Burt, an Intelligence Quotient of 125 and over, in children, is considered to be secondary school scholarship standard and 130 and over, in adolescents, University Scholarship standard. Over 145 is considered to be brilliance. The second group consists of children who are endowed with special gifts such as a high degree of capacity for music, mathematics, scientific precision, art, acting, dancing, writing or executive and mechanical ability. This chapter discusses giftedness and child and adolescent development. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)
